Geri Maguire was at third and Brian Smith was at first. Not sure who the plate umpire was.....

WCWS Umpires

Tom Topping
Mike Mazur
Suzi Benzel
Linda Hoover
Willie Newman
Paul Edds
Actually, the line-up for the UCLA/Bama game was:

Umpires - HP: Scott Thomas 1B: Tim Kasate 3B: Geri Magwire

Scott Thomas is not the person I thought was working it, but the signals and gestures were terribly close to my pals.
Thought it was a bit strange seeing dark sunglasses on the plate umpire as it seemed the sun was not coming from the direction of the field. However, I thought he did a great job with his strike zone, sunglasses or not, it works.

I felt sometimes he was a little high and outside in the strike zone. He seemed to have a pretty liberal strike zone considering the level... I know one of your rants is not adjusting for level of play - but I still felt it was fairly generous. Not that I had the vantage he had with the crappy camera work.. so hard to say... but that was my impression.
