Weird BUT true

They must have thrown a lot of fastballs.

Florida Internatio­nal University beat Marshall University, 4-3, in a faceoff that lasted all of 69 seconds.

FIU was leading Marshall in their game Saturday when heavy fog rolled into Beckley, W.Va. Umpires suspended play with two outs in the bottom of the ninth.

So FIU took the field Sunday needing just one more out, which they got 69 seconds later in four pitches.

That’s not what they mean by having the munchies.

Louisiana police pulled over an erratic motorist who then tried franticall­y to eat all the marijuana in his possession, officials said.

Cyrus Antoine, 36, was arrested after Baton Rouge cops said they smelled marijuana coming from the car, as well as on Antoine’s breath.

Maybe don’t “whip it” around cops.

Police were called to a parking lot in Santa Rosa, Calif., after someone spotted a woman sitting in her car with a gun. When officers approached Vanessa Harlan, 36, she whipped out some “whip-it” gas canisters — and started inhaling the shots of nitrous oxide, police said

Cops also found a .45-caliber gun in the car, according to authoritie­s.

A guy in Anchorage has been robbing businesses at knifepoint — with a cardboard box on his head, authoritie­s said.

The crook robbed two liquor stores and a filling station last week.

“Some goofball wearing a cardboard box on his head with two eye holes punched out came in and threatened her,” said Kevin Wright, whose girlfriend was working at the time.

This break-in really got their goat.

Belfast, Maine, police received word someone had broken into a home’s garage, and they rushed over to find two pygmy goats, Louis and Mowgli, snacking on cat food.

The adorable perps were returned to their owner.
