JR High FP between town rivals with about 100 spectators..Top 7th one out runners on 1st and 2nd.I'm the BU.Visitors up 3-0. Fly ball to R/C caught for 2nd out.Ball is returned to pitchers mound.Both teams leave field(can't say if baserunners were in the dugoutat this point)I check my indicator and look to my partner he also has 2 outs.I heard the Home team coach say there was only 2 outs.I said that runners would be placed back at 1st and 2nd with 2 outs.He's screaming that his players got the runner doubled off at first.I never saw it nor did my partner.Coach is walking quickly shouting in front of fans that I better get my head in the game and I'm a lousy umpire.I ejected him. He tells me he deserved a warning(LOL)
I've ejected players and coaches before but never in HS Sports.JR High is supposed to be about teaching and mentoring.I just couldn't get over how this guy was outright cheating.What would you have done under the same circumstances.

Same thing.
