LANCASTER, Calif. (May 18) – This minor league game quickly turned into a major rout: Lake Elsinore 30, Lancaster 0.
The San Diego Padres‘ affiliate put on a record-setting performance, beating Boston‘s farm team Friday night in the Class-A California League.
Lake Elsinore posted the most-lopsided victory ever against Lancaster. The Storm came close to the league mark for runs, set by Fresno with 34 in 1947.
“Like I was telling some of our fans late in the game, this was a once-in-a-lifetime thing to see,” Lancaster general manager Brad Seymour said. “I just hope I don’t see it again.”
The Storm – whose hitting coach is former big leaguer Max Venable – finished with 28 hits, one shy of the California League record, and six home runs. Chad Huffman and Craig Cooper each homered twice and Yordany Ramirez drove in seven runs.
Here is the full story.
Funny! They should have the 10 run lead rule 🙂
