Lb state tourny
2 base blues
Sinking Line Drive hit dead center field. Outfielder sprinting leans forward, glove swipes ....sorta a shoe string catch but eeah maybe not...The lawn was thick from all the rains and definitely soft ground. Home plate umpire raises his hand to signify the out. Blue at third base starts waving his hands and jogs in towards the home plate umpire. Decision is overruled. Question who should be calling that flyball in the first place?
Home or a base umpire?
In my view from behind the plate there was no way the home plate umpire could have clearly seen what that ball did. I was surprised he made a call on it.
The outfielder certainly didn't play it off like she knew she caught it either.
