First of two nights of two softball telecasts on ESPN+ from the Colorado 4th of July.

I dont know how rare it is to see an inside the park homerun (by a catcher nonetheless) and a cycle in the same game. Almost had that last night in Denver, but Moniak couldn't get a measley single in his last at bat, and he didn't have a bottom of the 9th.

[Brett Dolan @Brettdolan24]

Not a bad looking night for ball.

If I were the Netherlands, I would have had Kyle Schwarber take the penalty kick to win.

[Brett Dolan @Brettdolan24]

These penalty kick shanks feel like airballing technical free throws.

Happy Anniversary to Craig Biggio. In 2007, he had a 5-hit game against Colorado on June 28th, including #3000 in his career. It was quite a night. I was there.

Football? The lack of hash marks and goal posts is disconcerting.

[Brett Dolan @Brettdolan24]

Just when you think you have seen it all. Inexperienced scorers botch the sac fly for a batter on dropped fly balls. Can't penalize the batter.

🚨ODD SCORING ALERT🚨

... and AGAIN, it's from the @Rockies, who are keeping me busy. Against the @RedSox today, the Rockies did the very difficult thing of grounding into a force out that was also a sacrifice fly.

It's true. With one out and the bases loaded, Cole Carrigg lined a ball to right that was dropped by Wilyer Abreu. Tyler Freeman was tagging up, and he scored, but Hunter Goodman was hung up and thrown out on a force play at second.

However, this still goes as a sacrifice fly for Carrigg. That's because of Rule 9.08(d) Comment:

"The Official Scorer shall score a sacrifice fly in accordance with Rule 9.08(d)(2) even though another runner is forced out by reason of the batter becoming a runner."

These don't happen very often, and there is no error charged here, because the force out was obtained but this is a ground out for the pitcher, yet it's a sacrifice fly.

@shoeguyiowa That's from a few Outback bowls ago!

Father's Day in Cooperstown. It's always a pilgrimage. Third trip overall and first in 15 years.

@PCreighton1 And learn to speak Canadian!

[Brett Dolan @Brettdolan24]

Yay!

What did we do before technology. Living and dying off my iPad. Living lately. Diving catch one inning, another HR in the next. Let's go.

Might be the best thing I’ve seen from the MCWS.

The umpiring crew went out and found the Branch parents to give them the official lineups with both of their boys, Kolby (UGA) and Kyle (Oklahoma), on them.

They are the first brothers to be opponents in a starting MCWS lineup.

[Brett Dolan @Brettdolan24]

Sometimes you win, or lose or tie, or get clocked. Check on all 4. Yikes. Not fun. What was...the inside the park homer at 12 secs. Also, about to have an outfield assist cycle at all 4 bases in short order.

@raford3 @RichieSchueler Why isn't Richie somewhere in Europe?

Day 1 of college summer league action in Austin. Photo credit: Lone Star State League. It was a good first day. That was a catch with some blood loss.

[Brett Dolan @Brettdolan24]

@Deuce3297 Great question. They shouldn't.

Athletic Department employees are cautioned not to enter an NCAA bracket pool or risk termination. This clown wagered almost $100k and dozens on his own team.

Reaction from lawyer Tom Mars, a veteran of NCAA cases: "In 40 years as a lawyer, I've never been as shocked and surprised by a court ruling." That sums the reaction on the college sports landscape today.
