LEXINGTON, Ky. Chicago Cubs great Ernie Banks used to say, "Let's play two." But after what happened in the first game of a doubleheader Wednesday, both coaches agreed: "Let's not."

Eastern Kentucky played Kentucky State on April Fools' Day, and the result was no joke: EKU led 49-1 when the teams stopped it after five innings, and they canceled the second game.

There appeared to be no hard feelings after Wednesday's blowout. Johnson praised the winners for good sportsmanship, and put the blame on his overmatched team.

EKU began substituting during its 22-run first inning. Coach Jason Stein said the rout was unfortunate and would not accept a forfeit for the canceled second game.
