During one of the softball games, the lights that are used to light up the field kept going on and off so eventually the two teams decided to just call it a game. The thing is in order to be considered a game they would have had to play at least five innings for the stats to be kept; they only played 4. The umpires kept telling Brian just make the game 7-0 and keep all the statistics; what everyone seemed to not understand is that the stat program, Stat Crew, doesn't work that way; there was no way to just enter the score at 7-0 while keeping all of the same statistics.
What ended up happening was that Brian called the technical support at Stat Crew how to do it, and to his surprise they didn't know either. Brian and the tech support guy were eventually able to find a way to make the game 7-0 (the stats weren't kept though) so when he came in the next day he made it a teachable moment for myself and the other intern. He showed us step by step how to enter a forfeit at 7-0 if the two teams haven't played a full 5 innings. Usually if the game is stopped for any reason, the game goes back to the last full inning and whoever was winning at the end of the inning gets the win.
