Big Dogs Miss The Call

HS game, score tied, top of seventh, two outs, R1. Visitor's best hitter (two-run dinger earlier) at bat, pitch up and in, batter ducks, pitch hits bat and rolls into fair territory. EVERYONE reacts to the ball as if it is fair with everyone scrambling. PU (Big Dog) brain farts, calls the ball FOUL. When he realizes his mistake he tells the home coach (who is now out on him) that it was his fault but the ball is dead nonetheless. Batter, with new lease on life, promptly hits a blast to the gap scoring R1 and ends up on second. Visitors win game by one run.

MORAL:

Slow down, you move too fast.
You've got to make the mornin' last.
Just, kickin' down the cobblestone.
Doo, doo, doo, doo, [big doo-doo in this game]
Feelin' groovy.

Sounds like a pretty bonehead play even by a Big Dog. Not sure based on your post that you believe he should be considered a Big Dog. Jim Simms/NYC
