Now we all remember our 1st HS game... I just want to know what you guys think I should write in my final report.

Sit 1) 1 out, Runners on 1st & 2nd... HIGH HIGH ball hit straight up. Lands straight down and deemed fair, no IFF call.. runners advance... Catcher tries to throw the runner out at first, called safe by BU. Then coach on 3rd questions it... PU states it is an applied rule... Runners are now on 2nd & 3rd, batters out. Other coach states that it isnt fair that the runners can advance and the runner on 2nd should be called out since he "left early". Umps state that since time was called, play was dead.
***What would you have done?***

Sit 2) Pitcher balks (clearly), Runner on 2nd gets caught in a rundown. BU in position B runs over and stands near 3rd, PU stays home... Caught and tagged out. Coach on 3rd states that the pitcher balked and the runner should get 3rd... Umps confirred and ruled that runner gets 3rd, other coach goes balistic... PU warns that coach.

Sit 3) Rundown between 3rd and Home, 1 runner is now moving from 2nd to 3rd and standing on 3rd. Runner from 3rd moving home and gets tangled with the catcher who was "diving" for the ball across the base path (foul line) while the runner was moving home... Runner gets tagged... OUT, then the same coach questions it and ruling gets overturned... Other coach does not even leave his dugout...

Coach on third wins 8-2 in 7 innings....

What do you think??? Thanks

Why would your association put two new umpires together? Sounds like you got your money's worth.

You should be writing your evaluation rather than asking us to do your job.

I will offer an evaluation of your assignor if you'd like
