Division III Baseball Game Final: 57-1

BRIDGEWATER, Mass. (AP) — Bridgewater State set NCAA Division III records for runs, hits, RBIs and victory margin Monday, routing Newbury 57-1 in seven innings.

Bridgewater State also broke the NCAA all-divisions record for RBIs and tied the mark for hits, finishing with 54 RBIs and 44 hits.

Steve Smith had seven hits, 10 RBIs and scored seven times to help Bridgewater State break the Division III records for runs and margin of victory set in Marietta’s 48-0 victory over La Roche in 1999. Smith tied the record for hits in a game.

The 54 RBIs broke the all-divisions mark of 53 set by Division II St. Francis of Illinois in a 1996 victory over Robert Morris. The 44 hits tied the record set by St. Francis in that 1996 game.

Suffolk set the previous Division III RBI mark of 43 in a 2005 victory over Southern Vermont, and Baldwin-Wallace set the old Division III hits record of 42 in a 2002 win over Lake Erie.

i still have different feelings about this one...57?! if that's not bush league baseball, then i dont know what is...would be different if the score was 57-54 or somethin like that...but (as a coach, especially a college one) how do you disrespect and run up the score LIKE THAT?! this aint no "hey, hold up at third, were ahead by 12..." im surprised the players didn't get into a fight over this one...because if i was getting beat by a team by 50+, i'd be very furiated...

...and how did the opposing coach NOT forfeit...after they were down by 40? haha
