"R2, one out. Screaming liner to F6, who catches the ball and tags the frozen R2 off the bag. As F6 reaches in his glove to toss the ball on the mound on his way to the dugout, BU notices F6 has to dislodge the ball from between the fingers of the glove. The boys in Indianapolis want us to reverse both outs, score R2 and put the B/R on 2nd? It'll take both hands to count the ejections."

Jim:
I understand that the phrase "the boys from Indianapolis" means the NFHS. But you were emailing ONE of the "boys." So it's proper for us to know who in Indianapolis told you the ruling you quoted.
Of course, nobody did. You made up the whole thing from scratch. Since you are talking to the chief, the sarcastic reference to "the boys from Indianapolis" is confusing: You can envision Mr. Hopkins memoing the staff: "Which person here wrote this ridiculous ruling?"
More to the point: It was unnecessary and rude.
