Have you ever seen 7 HBP in one high school game? Today Batavia came back to beat Yorkville 14-7 after being down big early. Yorkville pitchers hit 7 Batavia batters (in 6 turns at bat)-- and threw behind two batters. They hit Batavia's 3,4 and 5 hitters a combined 5 times -- including Jordan Coffey 3 times in a row. The umpire issued a warning -- then ejected two Yorkville pitchers - and it continued. A Batavia pitcher did hit one Yorkville batter in the third inning with an 0-2 count. Yorkville isn't very good - but I've never seen that many HBP by accident.

First pitcher was ejected after hitting second guy. Second pitcher hit one. Third pitcher was ejected after hitting two and throwing behind two.
The kid hit three times is 6'5" and stands in the middle of the box - he was hit in the thigh, and twice in the middle of the back.
Yorkville isn't very good - and maybe it can all be blamed on being bad or just wanting to throw inside - but it just seemed curious that they hit the number 3,4 and 5 hitters 5 times. Fortunately the Batavia coach was smart enough not to retaliate even though he could have and still won the game easily.
