Eastern Kentucky
’s baseball team beat Kentucky State 49-1 Wednesday. But you wouldn’t know it by reading the EKU official recap. It does not mention the score at all.

Not April Fools': 49-1 blowout in college baseball
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - It was April Fools' Day, but this was no joke.
Eastern Kentucky was supposed to play a doubleheader against Kentucky State, but plans were changed after EKU built a 49-1 lead and the opener was stopped after five innings. The second game was canceled.
EKU coach Jason Stein began substituting during his team's 22-run first inning.
The results would have set a Division I records for most-lopsided win according to the NCAA, but Kentucky State is in Division II. The biggest rout in Division II history was a 71-1 victory by St. Francis over Robert Morris in 1996.
