YJC - Day 1 (9/15/13)

The Cup was on display this past Sunday and the Chase was in full effect on the first full day of Yellow Jacket Cup action. To round out the first week of fall practice, the Yellow Jackets kicked off their 3-day intersquad series with a four game set, all of which were 4 innings games:




The Rutt
If those scores seem a little inflated for 4 inning games, you are right. Those scores include bonus runs awarded on the basis of pitch counts and innings won. Every weekend, the intersquad theme changes slightly - this week; for every inning that a team won, it received a run on the scoreboard.

Next was the pitch count bonus, each pitcher got 20 pitches to get through their particular inning - if they were under that 20 pitch mark, their team got additional runs. If he reached his count before the inning was over, the opposing team received a run for every runner on base and every out that was not recorded. The bonuses were as follows:

Pitch Count Scrimmage
  • 10 pitches or less = 3 runs
  • 11-18 pitches = 2 runs
  • 19-20 pitches = 1 run
  • Runners LOB/Outs not record = 1 run per (for opposing team)
The next date in the Yellow Jacket Cup series is this Saturday (9/21) - first pitch is at 12pm at The Rutt. For all score updates and highlights follow the Diamond on Twitter. YJC stats will also be posted later in the fall.
