Gotcha!

At an ASA 16U NQ in Atlanta (A Ball), I was on 1st, and an ISF umpire was on 3rd. We called 31 Illegal Pitches in a row for crow hopping on a team from Chattanooga against a team from California.
We showed the coach, showed the pitcher and she kept on doing it. He claimed no one had ever called it on her!
In the interim, the PU put up with him screaming, going outside the dugout and behind the backstop and screaming, her father and mother standing up on the top row of the bleachers and screaming obscenities, etc.
Our UIC for Metro Atlanta had to TELL the PU to toss the coach and then he didn't do it for several innings. The park police came and got the parents and escorted them off the property.
Boy, when we came off that game, all 3 of us got chewed out BIG TIME
The PU got chewed out because he didn't take control and get rid of the trouble makers and me and the other BU for not taking over when the PU didn't do his job!!!! What a fiasco!
That was 1st game on Saturday and I had 3 more. But, I sure was glad to go ASAP as the UIC glared at me the rest of the day---until I made him laugh!

So Glen, sorry I hold the record!
