Except for a few tournaments, all the SP games in our area use only one umpire. Being only one person and starting behind the catcher (some of whom are 8-10' behind the plate) makes it impossible to get the best position to see everything. Don't feel bad, I've had happen both ways. I don't see a tag that was probably made or I call a tag that I'm only 90% sure was made. Sometimes I just have to say, "I can't call what I can't see" to a captain or coach who complains. But on the otherhand if it looks like a tag, and sounds like a tag, and acts like a tag...then it I'm calling it a tag (that's what I mean by being 90% sure) even if I don't see the tag.
