The thing is, our poor boys have to go out tonight to finish this game wondering how they ended up tied from a "ghost runner". And now the kids have got to work their butts off to get a third out to prevent a loss, and an eventual elimination from the Tournament Of Champions. A loss here would also eliminate a coach from being the manager of the All-Stars team. I found it highly politically motivated, as are most of the asinine situations in this little league.

Since the runner never touched home plate, I would appeal after the ball is put into play. Have your pitcher step off and throw to the catcher and have him appeal by stepping on the plate. When that's denied, protest the game yourself.
I'm going to go umpire 2 Legion games, where I hope my calls are limited to the basic six.

I knew I was jinxing myself. Ended up dumping the visiting team's head coach in game 1. Fortunately, it was a tournament and I had 2 different teams in game two. I can't remember the last time I ran a coach/manager before tonight.
