About 6 years ago, I was calling a PONY qualifier. Age was 14-U (Pony age group).
The game went 11 innings, 3 hours and a handful of minutes. In the game, I had
1) OBS
2) Runner interference
3) Catcher's obstruction
4) Batter's interference
5) BR out for running out of the running land and getting hit by the thrown ball
6) Player ejection
7) Player disqualified
8) Defensive OF throwing a glove and hitting a fly ball with it.
9) Blocked ball when the on-deck batter kicked up a overthrown ball away from the catcher who was pursuing it.
10) Unreported sub
11) Illegal sub
12) 2 protests, both overruled
I was scheduled 2 games that night. This was the 1st one. Most of the other fields were through and the umps were coming up to give me a hard time about not being through with the first one yet. I lost the 2nd game, needless to say.
When I got home, I just pulled out the rule book to see if maybe, just possible there was a rule I didn't enforce in this game. It certainly kept me on my toes!
