It's not hillbilly style, it's left-edge deletion, something that isn't at all uncommon in English. The "him being" construction being an ellipsis of (the implied) "with him being", the "with" understood by a fluent speaker of our language. (just as "is" is understood as implied in the previous...

The foul bunt strike 3 rule? The balk in its current form? The infield fly rule being proactive for no good reason? No, it's actually a bunch of boys having fun playing ball in front of thousands of fans... 🙄🙄🙄

This year was a great reminder that there really ought to be rebalanced brackets by seed. Having the 4 strongest teams in the same bracket is very silly. At least they let a team swap over to the other bracket, which the men's tournament doesn't do.

No way coach, no freaking way

It worked. But is that the right call with UCLA being the top half of the inning and your pitcher struggling with control? Luckily, their batter bails us out first pitch. So great call in hindsight. :)

The 0-0 count sac bunt cost us an out, Sophia AB, and a Dodge AB... Shoot.

And bunt less! (a man can dream, can't he?)

Lucky that they weren't playing double play depth, lol

Hot damn! Thank goodness the lightning held off.

That might be the last pitch we see for a while, looking at the radar. edit: Well, checked the lightning map, and it's not showing much...

Spearman's game is starting. Go Chaos!
