Anyone ever see anything like this before?

Just had a 99 win team lose the finals in 5 games. Definitely was destined to be a loss, as this sequence of 10 straight batters reaching base, with my opponent scoring 8 runs, demonstrates. Carlton was the starter and was relieved by Burke.

Even weirder was the fact that there were no extra base hits and three out of four batters at one point were hit by a pitch. What are the odds against that???

Nice of HAL to bring in Burke to pitch to Buddy Bell and then leave him in to pitch to three straight lefties and a switch hitter.
