thanks everyone....glad to know i was right.
it wasnt the fans yelling, it was the defense. i dont mind the yelling, at least not yet, because it makes me aware of what happened so i can collect my thoughts and make a decision. i was umpping this game myself in a men's league, so i've obviously got a lot going on, especially in this case. call the pitch, get out to make the call, watch batter and catcher, watch the runner and fielder, not trip over own two feet, dont blink, ...etc. etc.
i am not persuaded by what others 'think' happened, no matter how insistent or immature they tend to be, or who they are. i call it as i see it according to the rules to the best of my ability.
