In a close ball game in the Top of the 5th, I called strike 3 on a curveball on the inside corner at the knees while #20 Woodland was at bat. After I called strike 3, he turned and looked at me and Said "Holy shit blue, F**k. |

West Ridge Academy |
At 3:46 pm, at the end of the previous game in the tournament, my partner and I were exiting the field and were asked by the Head Coach of the team now taking the field what time we planned on starting the next game that was scheduled for 4 pm. My partner told him that we planned on returning to the field right away and beginning the next game so that we could keep the tournament moving along. We didnt feel that this was too much to ask. Both teams had already been at the site of the game for about an hour. At 3:56 pm we returned to the field and I asked that for each Head Coach to join us at the plate meeting. Green River's head coach joined us and provided his lineup card. As I was going through his lineup the Head Coach from West Ridge Academy started to voice his concerns that we had not given his team the proper amount of time to warm up. I let him know that we would not start the game until 4 PM. 4 PM was the scheduled start time. He then let me know he had been promised 15 minutes to warm his team up after the last game had ended. I informed him that he would be given that amount of time seeing the the other game had ended at 3:46 pm. He was not happy with my explanation and proceeded to let his opinion of me become public and told me that I was a joke of an official. He was then ejected from the ball game and refused to give his assistant Coach the lineup to finish the plate meeting. He continued to argue while refusing to leave the field. At 4:02 he then exited the dugout and approached the home plate area that My partner, I and the Head Coach from Green River were standing. He then told me that he was going to write a report and make a phone call to a buddy of his and use some pull to make sure that I would never umpire again. He argued for a few more minutes and was again encouraged to leave the field so we could beging the ball game. At 4:06 pm he returned from making a phone call to tell me that he had contacted an administrator to come remove me from the field and they would play the game without me. I informed him that I would not begin the ballgame with him still at the field. He then let me know that he was taking his team home. At this moment I declared the ball game over and left the field. |

Milford |
With one out in the Bottom of the 6th inning and a score of 8-3 Beaver, Milford was batting. There was a play at the plate that drew the catcher away from the plate to catch the ball. After he caught the ball, the catcher dove toward the plate to make a tag. Seeing that the catcher was on the ground, #2, S. Sullivan, leaped over the catcher and the plate. The catcher then jumped on his feet to make a tag. The runner (#2) was past the plate and found himself with no option. The catcher was between the runner and the plate with possession of the ball in his glove. The runner stood still while he was tagged out. After being tagged out the runner punched the catcher in the head, who was still wearing his helmet. The force of the blow knocked the catchers glasses to the ground. Due to his actions following the tag, #2 S. Sullivan was ejected from the ball game. |
