The Herts Baseball Little League is making big strides and one of the additions to this season's competition is the official scoring of games. During Spring Training, while the players were getting themselves ready for the season, many of the Little League parents volunteered to become official League scorers. What a dedicated group of parents? The Herts Little League now has its first officially scored game. And what a game it was. The Blue Jays recorded a memorable walk-off victory over the Red Sox, Storm Frisby with the game-winning RBI.
The addition of scoring games will be a very valuable tool for players and coaches in evaluating player and team performances.
As scoring is gradually incorporated in every Little League game, the software will also assist coaches in tracking pitchers' pitch count ensuring that the league complies with pitch count rules applicable in youth baseball.
It will enhance the experince of fans as the scoring software used by Herts Baseball Club will allow a much more accurate and detailed reporting of games. Below is an example of some of the capabilities including box scores just like they do it in Major League Baseball, as well as a play-by-play account of the game.
