Call
Bases loaded, two outs, tied score,10th inning.
Ball four is called on the batter who proceeds to celebrate. PU steps around to the front of the plate to watch R1 score while her teammates joined in the batter's celebration a few feet up the first base line.
Defense coach approaches the plate umpire and protests that the BR never touched 1B. Okay, DMC, should have waited.
When the celebrating players hear the coach, a couple shove the batter toward 1B.
Your call. Game over or are you going to the 11th?
