Well, he did say that it was a "youth league" which pretty much tells us it wasn't a high school game.
Does South Carolina plan on joining the rest of the country (and baseball) any time soon?
This reminds me of a JV game I did back in 1987, when we were required to rat on baserunners who missed bases. Bases loaded, bottom of 7th, 2 outs, home team down by two runs. The batter hit a ball into the gap, which cleared the bases for the win by one run.....except the runner from 2nd missed third base. I was working solo, so I had all the runners at all the bases and I happened to see the runner miss 3rd base. Being the brutally honest person I am, I called the runner out, negating 2 of the runs, and costing the home team the come from behind victory.
They were mad, and did not understand why an appeal wasn't required. I had to explain that the stupid rule in FED ball said the umpire has to call out the runners who miss any bases. I felt like some kind of stool-pigeon for making such a call. Bad rule.
