Three singles and a grand slam with the bases loaded. Just for good measure, three walks with the bases juiced, too. I don't think I've ever had an inning that big where every player who reached base scored.
Final was 16-0, but the big story was my starting pitcher getting the shutout after giving up 18 runs over his previous three starts. THat's what I call a confidence-builder.
