You know it’s not pretty when you hear mumblings of the mercy rule in the press box.

That’s right, Chatsworth just torched the scoreboard for three more runs in the fourth inning of the City Section Championship Division final Saturday afternoon at Dodger Stadium. The Chancellors did it on two singles, a walk, a sacrifice bunt and some sloppy Narbonne play. Gauchos shortstop Carlos Avila threw away a ball to let Chatworth’s sixth run score.

So the Chancellors lead, 6-1, heading into the bottom of the fourth. And, in the press box, we’re already thinking mercy. Mercy me.
