High School Baseball Team Wins 53-0...Yes, 53-0

When most people see the above picture, I think it might be assumed that it is a score misprint or scoreboard malfunction.

Sadly, that is not the case. Lakelands High School in Texas beat Samuels High by that score in five inning game.

We get more from TNSP Sportsnet:

First, it must be noted that the official score was 54-0. Second, it must be noted that neither coach agrees with this score. Lake Highlands coach Jay Higgins insist that the final score was 57-0, while Samuell coach Mike Peña claims the final score was 53-0. Does it matter?
.
How dominant was Lake Highlands on that night? Just digest a few of these numbers from the stat line. Lake Highlands batters hit for 1 triple, 5 doubles, and 38 singles! The team put up 21 runs in the 5th inning alone.

What makes that above score even more impressive is that Lake Highlands didn't hit a homerun in the game.

To put that score in perspective, the Texas Rangers in their first twelve spring training games have scored 74 runs, only 21 runs more than Highlands scored in that one game.

Eric Gordon Posterizes DeJuan Blair

At first glance, Clipper guard Eric Gordon appears to be one NBA player who couldn't throw down a poster dunk.

However during last night's Spurs/Clippers he proved that theory wrong as he threw down two nasty slams.

Co-Ed Softball Player Takes One to the Dome

There are many reasons why I do not play softball and the above video showcases one of those reasons.

During a co-ed softball tournament game, a line-drive hit is fielded cleanly by the opposing team's shortstop and thrown to first base in an attempt to record the out.

The only problem was that same shortstop's throw was off-line and hit the female batter in the head in her attempt to run to first.

I will say though, slo-mo makes anything enjoyable.

Jeff Carter Hit on Anssi Salmela

During Monday Night's matchup between the New Jersey Devils and the Philadelphia Flyers, Devils defensivemen Anssi Salmela scored a pretty goal in the second period to give the Devils, a 2-0 lead.

Nearing the end of his shot, Flyers centre Jeff Carter absolutely unloaded on him with a hit that knock Salmela flat out on the ice.

Salmela was taken off the ice in a strecher (as evidenced in the video), there is no current word on his status.

The hit itself appeared to be legal since Carter's shoulder wasn't too high and the hit did occur during the continuation of the play.

However, I wouldn't be surprised if Carter receives a fine or suspension from the NHL anytime soon.

Brandon Spikes will gouge your eyes out.....

Florida is still the number one ranked team in the nation and Brandon Spikes is arguably their best defensive player.

Some Georgia fans would explain to you that the video above is proof that Spikes is a dirty player.

In the middle of the third quarter, Georgia running-back Waushaun Easley takes a handoff up the middle and is tackled Spikes who decided to pull some extra-curricular activity to the eye-region of Easley's helmet. It's tough to tell if he does go for the eyes since we cannot tell from the replay.

The Florida Gators decided to suspend Spikes for a half. Yep, that's right, a half in the Gators upcoming game against Vanderbilt. I wonder what the SEC wil say about this?
