We're in midst of our state playoffs.
We have three of our locals in the south state finals but we don't get to call any of them in the final two rounds.
But saw this in the paper:
But a called third strike on a pitch that hit a Tornado batter kept a runner off base when Hunter Dunaway followed with a solo home run that cut the margin to 8-7.
The stranget things is that it was with two strikes and the kid batting already had 2 home runs in the game.
Local team ended up losing with game 3 tonight, but thought that was interesting.
I know that several of their players have a tendency to lean in on pitches and have seen them try to get hit, (but always on a pitch that was in etc.,) but just wondering if any of you have actually had to call strike three on the pitch.
My guess is that is would have to be a curve ball, but Wow! Don't think I'd make that call unless it was very very obvious.
Anyway I haven't had a chance to talk to the local team coach yet to see what he thought.
Just thought I'd share.
Thanks
David
