Learn the Rulebook

Preston got 100% on his math test. Always nice to have a high score on a test at the start of a quarter. Stockton has been studying so hard for his data structures test at the end of this week. Today he sent a text saying, "Update on my data structures class where exams are 50% of the grade: I just got out of class and my professor said our test this week is so challenging that 'even he wouldn't want to take this test.'" That's got to give Stockton a lot of confidence.

The weirdest thing happened in Blake's baseball game. Blake was playing in the outfield. Two outs. The catcher dropped the ball. They threw it to first. The kid on third ran home. The teenage umpire called it correctly. The run didn't count because the third out was a force at first. Well, the bottom of the last inning Blake's team was down 9-7 with a runner on third the scorekeeper for the other team adds a run. Did not talk to Blake's team to let them know they had changed the score to 10-7. Blake's team ended up scoring two runs and then scored a sac fly to win the game. That is when they found out the other team had added a run and they only tied a game. There are soooooooo many things wrong with this situation. The other team said that because the runner scored before the out at first was made the run counted. WRONG. They said they called the league president and he told them they could add the run. He is wrong and you can't do it after the fact. Not telling the other team is crazy. My brothers and I have been talking about this all day and then into the morning. The other team is now saying it is no big deal and Mike's team should just drop it. If it is know big deal then they shouldn't cheat to win. Absolutely ridiculous.
