HS Softball game last night, 7 innings, 8-6 score, played in 1:12.

Night before again HS Softball, 7 innings, 12-11 score, played in 2:49.

A significant difference was way more walks in the longer game, but at least half the difference was HU's pace. Guy last night kept them moving, didn't allow conferences to linger, counted warm up pitches and generally was ready when the players were ready. I'm surprised how often everyone BUT the umpires are ready for play in both HS baseball & softball at the start of an inning.

Both were good,fun games to watch, but a quick pace makes it more exciting for everyone. Nobody wants to watch players standing around waiting.

Tonight is baseball, cross town rival, 7pm game which will be packed. Great opportunity for drama. My over / under is 2:30.
