unearned

Unearned grades are damaging in many ways.

As if on cue, the Dodgers scored five unearned runs in the top of the fifth inning, waking up the comatose Paradise crowd.

But the Yankees suffered an epic defensive meltdown in the top of the fifth, committing two physical errors and one mental gaffe that allowed the Dodgers to score five unearned runs and tie the score 5-5.

The Dodgers were clinging to a 2-0 lead, having scored two unearned runs off Mets starter Luis Severino in the second and failed to cash in after loading the bases with one out in the third and putting runners on second and third with two outs in the fifth.

This overtly racist solution worked as intended, giving the South an unearned grasp on the presidency until the Civil War.
