Typo -- 6^3 is 216, not 126. (It's correct after the first time.) Interesting that the "ball" and "strike" readings are with bases occupied, not bases empty. (Some of that, of course, is to facilitate steal attempts, which happen in NP and APBA too. But the two later games have "ball", "strike" and "foul" at the bases-empty rare play results. Steele doesn't include them here.) Their presence means that it's easier to homer, triple or double with runners on base than with none on, since there are likely to be multiple rolls with the same batter up.

(Not sure why you thought that 14-inning scoresheet wasn't a real tie game. All 14 innings are visible, and it's 2-2 from the fifth inning until the 14th.)

Thanks!

I was talking about the second 14 inning scoresheet, the one on the very bottom.

Right -- I missed that one.
