Gage Carson Baseball 2018-03-16 Jordan I was forced to eject a Jordan player, #21 Gage Carson, in game one of the 6th inning of a Riverton and Jordan double header. #21 was in violation of rule 10-1-6, unsportsmanlike conduct. #21 was up to bat with 0 balls and 2 strikes as a count. #21 was caught looking at a strike 3 pitch with no swing. As #21 headed back to the dugout he looked back and made eye contact with me as the home plate umpire and said "that is a bullshit strike three call". #21 was immediately ejected. I notified my umpire partner Kieth Worsley, Chad Fife the head coach for Jordan and Jay Applegate the head coach for Riverton. #21 did not play in game 2 of the double header. Rule 10-1-ART. 6 ... No umpire may be replaced during a game unless he becomes ill or is injured. His right to disqualify players or to remove nonplayers for objecting to decisions or for Unsportsmanlike conduct is absolute. Ejections will be made at the end of playing action.
Park City Varsity Head Coach Baseball 2018-03-22 Park City I ejected the Varsity Head Coach for Park City in game one of the 3rd inning at Grantsville. The Varsity Head Coach was in violation 3-3-1f 2 and the offense was judged to be major, in which case an ejection occurred. During the third inning of game one with Grantsville at bat, R1 at first base and one out. The batter hit a line drive in the gap between center and left field. On the hit, R1 advanced from first base to third base. The throw from the cutoff to third base was high and the tag was applied after R1 was judged to be safe on the slide at third base. After the play at third, the Park City Head Coach walked from the third base dugout to what is considered umpire C position on the field. The coach asked me “What did you have on the play at third base” my response was “I had the runner safe, coach”. The coach replied with “You have to give me more than that blue”. I repeated my original response “I had the runner safe, coach”. The coach replied with “Are you holding the play at third base against me for what happened last year”? My response was “I have no idea what you are talking about coach”. The coach replied with “You are holding it against me and you do not have to be a dick about it”. The coach was immediately ejected.
L. Jackson Baseball 03-29-2018 Corner Canyon I ejected #34 L. Jackson of Corner Cannon in game two of the 4th inning at Corner Cannon vs Salem Hills. #34 L. Jackson of Corner Cannon was in violation NFHS baseball rule 3-3-1m and the violation was judged to be malicious, in which case an ejection occurred. During the 4th inning of game two with Corner Cannon at bat, R1 was at second base with one out. The batter hit a line drive to center field. On the hit, R1 advanced from second base to home. The throw arrived at home plate before R1, #34 L. Jackson, started his head first slide into home. R1’s head first slide at home was judged to be way too late of a slide & judged to be way too high up the leg of the catcher and this was considered malicious so he was immediately ejected.
