A high school team in Japan scored sixty-six runs while using just four outs before the trailing team quit:

The coach of Kawamoto technical high school threw in the towel to spare his pitcher's arm with his team losing 66-0 with just one batter out in the bottom of the second.

The hapless hurler had already sent down over 250 pitches, allowing 26 runs in the first inning and 40 in the second before Kawamoto asked for mercy.

"At that pace the pitcher would have thrown around 500 pitches in four innings," Kawamoto's coach was quoted as saying. "There was a danger he could get injured."

It's good to know they have a 250 pitch limit for high school pitchers in Japan. Cole Hamels would have been out after 30 runs!
