NavyBlue Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Yes, I actually called games all weekend on this field. If at first you don't succeed, might as well fail a second time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see a problem here. Did you actually call anything along the line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlue Posted June 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2021 We had one get close, about two feet on the fair territory side, so it wasn't controversial. This is a NCAA D3 field. School is hosting a select/travel tournament. The guy that laid down the "line(s)" (who shall remain un-named) wanted to get the lines down the night before, BUT, the school had a "lights out policy" for that night in support of an Astronomy program, so the field lights could not be turned on. He figured he'd done this enough times that he could literally do it in the dark. He got 3B line done just fine. On the 1B line he fell victim to the string getting caught up on the striping machine and drifting off course, and he didn't notice it in the dark naturally. You'd think the second attempt, now weary of "string drift" would go better, but no, it did not. All the coaches were good sports about it (probably because we didn't have any close calls though!). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchAngel72 Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 I would have said get out there with some green paint and touch that up a bit either that or give me enough whiskey to make those 2 lines look like 1... 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, automatic triple if a batted ball hits in those tiny little wedges between the 2 lines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh no way is that worth only a triple. That there is the rare double dinger. you hit home and start a trot right around the bases again of course its worth 2 runs plus whomever was on base. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
