ESPN Womens CWS Question
Other than ESPN leaving the LSU vs CAL Bears game early, LSU 4 CAL 1 and not showing the second game which CAL. won 4 to 1 to show an insignificant MLB game whats with the out field fences ? Maximum NCAA distance is 135’, minimum is 185’, these fences are 190’ down the lines and 210 straight away center. Why so short ? Most of the HR’s would be nothing but long outs during the season. Maybe the large D1 schools keep there fields short to pad the stats. Anybody got a theory ??

adds to the ratings and perhaps more entertaining in their minds for the viewers.

two fences are in place.....did you see the second one which appears 5 -10 feet farther back!
