Please look at the following excerpts from a game recap. The League is NPL, The teams are Colorodo and Arizona, and the date is September 6, 2017

..............................1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 + R..H..E
Rockies (COL)..........1 1 1 6 6 6 6 6 0....33 35 0
Aging Veterans (AZ) 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0.....1 8 1

OK, the Rockies scored 33 runs in 9 innings.

HR: Stanton 5 (20), Lesaca 6 (28), Bristol 5 (35), Glynn 5 (14), Komazawa 5 (35), King 5 (24)

And they hit 31 home runs in the process.

ARIZONA ip h bb hr r er k pit ERA
Chen.......3.0 5 2 1 3 3 3 57 5.10
Scott.......1.0 0 0 0 0 0 1 12 3.93
TOTALS...4.0 5 2 1 3 3 4 69

But Arizona only pitched 4 innings and let up 3 runs. So who pitched the 4-8 innings and was so bad he let up 6 consecutive home runs each inning?

BOTTOM OF THE THIRD
The Rockies guarded the lines.
Dennis McNerny pinch hit for Bruce Chen. <--->

So, McNerny pinch hit for the pitcher...

BOTTOM OF THE FIFTH
Gabriel Souza grounded to third. <--->
Dennis McNerny walked. <--1>

...and hit again...

BOTTOM OF THE SEVENTH
Joey Shepard grounded to short. <--->
Calvin Fisher walked. <--1>
Ted Hopkins singled to left. <-21>
Gabriel Souza singled through the right side, scoring a run. <3-1>
Dennis McNerny hit an infield single to short. <321>

...and hit again...

TOP OF THE NINTH
Adam Scott came in to pitch for the Aging Veterans. <--->

Until a pitcher finally came in to finish the game. I guess Arizona felt that they were out of the game, even though they were trailing by only 3 runs after 32 innings. How else do you explain a backup firstbaseman who pitched the worst 5 innings in recorded history?

Please check into this.

Here's the link to the box score:

<edit> Since you can't link in-league box scores (Sorry 'bout that), the important box score information is already posted above. </edit>

And while, as the owner of the Rockies, I loved seeing that many home runs hit by my team in a single game, this is probably a bug... unless it's a rare in-game routine that runs "Jose' Canseco Syndrome".

You cant link in-league headlines. Can you copy and paste the box score?

The relevant box score information is in the initial post.

I remember looking at this box score. Every inning from the fourth through the eighth was the exact same:
1st batter of the inning grounded out;
2nd batter of the inning grounded out;
3rd through 6th batters hit home runs;
9th batter of the inning struck out.

It was this exact same routine each inning. They'd bat around, 2 ground outs, then 6 straight homers, then a strikeout to end the inning and then start all over again the next inning.

I entered the league as a guest and saw the box score. Definitely the oddest game I have ever seen in BBM history.
