BULL! If a team has to blame an umpire for their failure, they need to learn to play harder or find another pastime.

I'm sure your niece's team caught every ball cleanly, threw out every runner and batter runner, didn't walk any opposing batters and had extremely clean uniforms at the end of the game in the little town of Perfect, USA.
