2 outs force play at 3rd, I called from about 15 maybe 20 feet away at or near where the Short-Stop made a nice play fielding the ball and tossing from her knees to 3rd for the force. I wasn't closer because I was unsure where the SS might take her throw. I called the runner out. It being the 3rd out of the inning.
I then moved to the pitching circle to dust the plate, it was then when I realized the the Asst Coach Gillman was in a B-line to me say she was safe in quite a load voice, it then I stopped and repeated in my judgement she was out. He continued to insist she was safe. I told he it was over, he heads for the dug-out yelling it was a horrible call. My partner Dan Roach kind of helps him into the dugout. I get to my normal position beyond 1st base, he comes out of the dugout and gestures to me "Safe-Call". With this I restrict him to the dugout. He gets in the dug-out and continues to voice she was safe. After about 10 seconds of him "carrying on" and walk toward the dug-out with the intention of ejecting him, I think differently, walk back to my position. He continues to carry-on infecting the girls in the dugout with his unsporting behavior. After what seemed like another 10 seconds I eventually feel enough is enough and eject him.
He seemed happy with that or just made sarcastic remarks to that effect.
Plate: Dan Roach
Bases: Jess Cornwell
