The kids probably a senior , so no real repercussions to be had. I am sorry but make the coach & team pay to learn a lesson. Suspend them from the postseason next year

As a former CIF umpire in the inland empire , Please lobby to get the Mercy Rule & The CR rule adopted , Too many long 7 innings blow outs

10 years this your 1st ejection? you probably have missed a few ?

Ok if I am reading this correctly? In FED a dropped bat striking the ball in fair territory needs intent to be interference? But in OBR 5.09(a)(8) If the bat hits ball in fair territory interference. (intent does not matter) If ball hits bat no interference?

Thanks for the response Max, so the Pentagons are steel toe? not composite like 3n2 ?

are this just 3n2 with another label? https://www.ebay.com/itm/373943411042?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item5710c3a162:g:39YAAOSw4ORiFDdI&amdata=enc%3AAQAGAAAA4Ciwts4JQcZyvycQcLIIbj3NmDympRQsbDsWbOH%2Fusb%2FXsBh82wqPicynJ8YOvs1Vg%2FshGpaP6Llxuw%2BMEjzPdbS6bXnNQ80MxK6T6YKiEioaG6R6BSd93Zin066UmBFDmNTd%2BoDc39tEeCtKO1xWxV7edOpC5vynSMDjKPI5PYaH3PyC0hawyM0%2Fpq%2FB2ZyAExv5sm9T%2Fxmps%2FQmNPynIagf1CgqgQDbpYjaPIXfK56d2HpchbfgiK4QY2%2BEmw6MjRa3a8JzLi23SqjIKC0v%2FL%2BP8gdda2%2B7%2Fzz6%2Fpsm1d9|tkp%3ABFBMiMHLkIRg

From the article it seems they called the batter out & then changed the call back to a homerun? https://www.mlb.com/news/pine-tar-incident-in-college-game-between-ucf-and-memphis

I might be relocating to Florida. I will be living & working in the south Palm Beach County & North Broward County area. From my research I could join either sanctioned FHSAA association. Anyone from down that way give me some clues about which group I should join? I am very experienced umpire at Varsity & College levels have worked Milb Spring training in AZ. Have worked with the mighty Mad Max & most of his Vultures will verify I am not old smitty.

about 30 years ago i went to the Southern Umpires Clinic in Atlanta. One the instructors was Larry Vanouver he was in AAA at the time. He said if a offensive team coach asks for interference(when of course they mean obstruction) look at them ask which runner they want called out!

and if you want to go full crazy Japanese , bid on this https://www.ebay.com/itm/234010265690?hash=item367c19485a:g:mIIAAOSwxrJeWnbJ

Fed Rule is 3-1c SECTION 3 BENCH AND FIELD CONDUCT ART. 1 . . . A coach, player, substitute, attendant or other bench personnel shall not: c. carelessly throw a bat; PENALTY: At the end of playing action, the umpire shall issue a warning to the coach of the team involved and the next offender on that team shall be ejected. No one is called out!

Call the interference! It was intentional .Put the runners back at 1st & 2nd

I always wondered about a batter trying to intentionally hit the catcher trying to buy a CI call. To be honest nothing covers it in the rules, when the bases are empty or no one is stealing . The Wendelstadt & J&K are not rules just an opinion. I would not ever award 1st in this situation. I would use 8.01c if challenged

That chart is not correct anymore in 2020 LL allows an IW after a pitch is thrown. You add how many pitches left to get to ball 4 to the pitch count Ex: Batter takes ball 1, defense mgr decides now to IW the batter it is allowed now add 3 pitches to the pitch count

The Adams Schutt is currently out of stock probably would went with that option considering I live in AZ near the mighty Mad Max. The All Star 4000 I tried it was way to tight around my fat neck
