You veteran blues need to sit down when you read this.
JUCO district game 1 of doubleheader at defending champs place. Tough, hard nosed defensive gem.
We're down 2-1, top of 7th, 2 out, runners at 1st and 2nd.
Top of order coming up.
Lead off batter chops one towards third base. Ball comes to rest on the line halfway to 3rd base.
BR beats the throw to first
But wait -
PU had called foul ball.
Coach vehemently questions the call to no avail (No surprise in that).
BR then flies out to CF. We lose 2-1.

And now - the rest of the story:

Between games, after blues went to change and returned for game 2, the game 1 PU tells our coach,
Quote:
I knew it was fair but I didn't want the game to end like that. I wanted her to have another chance.
The coach told me this while we were having the post game meal enroute home and I almost gagged.
