Intersting game last night

[bayoublue]

Had the stick for a varsity game last night that would determine the winner of the 5A district. The winner would be the number 1 seed and the loser would end up # 3.

First inning home team has a runner on third who comes home on a wild pitch that rolls up the 3rd baseline. The catcher swipe tags and misses the runner but the runner never touches the plate. Defense appeals and I get the out. Of course the home team crowd goes ape $#+ crazy.

Move ahead to the Sixth and home team is up 1 to nothing. VT comes up in the sixth and scores 4 to go up 4-1. HT ties it up with 3 in the bottom half of the sixth and neather team has a base runner in the 7th so we head to extras. Of course I am hearing it from the HT crowd that we should be done.

Nothing happening into the 8th or the top of the 9th. B9, leadoff walks as does the next batter. HT tries a bunt but pops it up. Next batter hits a blooper to right and the 3rd base coach sends the runner who gets hosed by 20 feet. In the meantime, BR tries to take second and is thrown out, so inning over.

Top of 10th VT puts up a 5 spot and the home team goes down in order. We are on the way to our cars and I have 3 fans from the HT following us screaming that I cost them the game and that we were the worst crew they had seen all year. Of course game administration and security are no where to be seen.

Got in my truck fully dressed and got the heck out of there. Went 20 minutes down the road and changed out. Just another fun night in South Mississippi!!!

Obviously, somehow YOU made the 3rd base coach try to score the winning run with one out and basically no shot at scoring.  And it was surely your fault the BR (who meant absolutely nothing) made the bonehead move of trying to take 2nd base.   Gotta love "fans".

Not to mention you made the runner not touch home plate and had the gall to call him out on an appeal.  No fault on the runner at all.

Well, remember, "fan" is short for fanatic (definition a person filled with excessive and single-minded zeal)
