So to say this would never happen in real baseball has been proven wrong (although does Elk Rapids High really real baseball) The stradagy didn't work ER lost 5-4 on a base clearing double to the gap.
With two outs? Wow. If there had been one out, I could understand setting up a double play situation (depending on the speed of the batter). But even that strategy is debatable.
