Like I said, Menchville is winning and a very good team, why do they need to do the bush league stat padding? Let the on-field play speak for itself and quit cooking the books.

I do believe the on-field play is speaking for itself!

I can tell you first hand that the "so called" padding of the books is not going to make that big of a difference, you are making more out of it than needs to be. When scouts (minor league or college) come to see a kid, they know what they are looking for and will evaluate the kid during the games they watch. So if you show an extra hit or two that may have been off errors to pad a batting average, that's not going to make much difference if the kid cannot hit when the scout shows up.
I would have to agree with the other post about possible mistakes by the score keepers, I doubt both teams have the same books at the end of the game regardless of who is playing.
Bottom line; Menchville is the best team in the district (trust me, I am not a Menchville "homer" either) matter of fact a Denbigh guy, that purely hated that school when it came to sports back in my day...but I will give them props. I just talked to their coach and he said Sizemore signed with ODU. You do not sign with ODU if you cannot back it up....
Let me cut this off, I will save it for another topic.
