Bfair-I agree with you
Steve:
You are right on with your reply. This umpire had the guts to make the tough call. If the shoe was on the other foot, this coach would definitely want this called. It is my experience on these calls, that the offensive team is too busy celebrating while the defensive team is watching for the touches. My partner had a very similar situation in a high school varsity game. The home team losing in the 5th inning by 2 runs. They had runners on 1B and 3b, the batter hits an over the fense homerun. The br misses home plate by a good two feet and the catcher turne to my partner and said hey blue he missed home. My partner when play was resumed, called the BR out for missing home plate. Of course, the coach comes out to argue, but the call stood.
Regards
Phil
