A Louisiana high school softball game produced one of the wildest box scores in national history.

Southwood and Huntington combined for 99 runs in a record-setting matchup that included almost everything imaginable. According to MaxPreps, the game featured 575 pitches, 62 hit batters, a cycle and a 14-RBI performance.
High-scoring softball games happen, but this one reached a completely different level. A combined 99 runs is the kind of number that sounds more like a video game than a real high school contest.
Games like this test every part of a team. Pitchers are challenged physically and mentally. Defenders must stay locked in through long innings. Hitters have to keep their timing and approach even as the scoreboard keeps changing.
For the athletes involved, this game will likely be remembered for the rest of their lives. Record-setting performances often become part of school history, and this matchup now belongs in the conversation of the most unusual games ever played.
High school sports are unpredictable, and that is part of what makes them special. On this day in Louisiana, Southwood and Huntington created a softball game that will be talked about for years.
