Area League Regionals this past weekend...
I was tournament directing the Area League Regionals at Foothill College in Los Altos this weekend and I chose to referee the tournament championship game on Sunday between Menalto VBC 18-1 and NYCV Brooklyn 18-1. In the second game, we have a great rally going between the two teams. NYCV hit a ball that looked like it was going to be down for sure. Somehow, the Menalto player got to the ball and it hit her on the shoulder as she wass diving toward the centerline. The ball popped up while NYCV was celebrating the kill. Another Menalto player bumped the ball to an outside hitter and NYCV had to scramble to recover as they realized that the whistle had not sounded to end the rally. All in all, a wacky play, because there was no way that the bal should have come up after the NYCV player spiked it (but it did!!!)
