I haven't seen too many really bad calls but this was one of the more botched up calls. Good thing was he eventually got it right

Bases loaded, one out, batter hits a two bouncer to first who steps on the bag and fires home. Catcher steps on home and walks off as PU calls the out.

I "as LL coach" ask PU calmly if when F3 steped on first if it did not take off the force at home. He agrees and changed the call as my player slid in without any attempt for a tag at home.

It's amazing what some civil speech can do for you. It unfortunately didn't make up for the guy's strike zone which may have been the lowest (for both teams) that I've ever seen.
