In the bottom of the fifth inning, Orem was batting and Skyline was pitching. Number 3, Scott, was pitching at the time. The bench was consistently arguing balls and strikes at which point I issued a balls and strikes warning to the head coach and the bench stating, "I've heard enough, that's your balls and strike warning, we are done." Eric said no worries I will make sure my guys knock it off, sorry they got out of hand. As I walked back to the dirt circle the pitcher #3 looked at me and said, "come on blue get with it." At that point I reminded him that I just finished warning the bench about balls and strikes and that included him, we were done arguing balls and strikes. play resumed. in the bottom of the 6th inning, same pitcher, Orem was at bat. with 1 out and a 2-1 count, a pitch came in low, and after I called the ball, he began to walk back to the mound and decided to turn back towards me and said come on blue! are you serious?! At that point, I issued the ejection due to the backlash directed towards me regarding the comments and also in reference to the previous warning. Note: He did serve his one game suspension on Saturday 3/11 for the 12:30 pm game when they played Wasatch High School at Utah Valley University. He as well as his catcher and his coach came to me and apologized for his actions post game.
