First Base Umpire
Yeah, the Illinois team can blame the game on the first base umpire...
That call did have an effect on the game. I think we could all agree!
If he'd have made the proper call (safe), a run would have scored on the batter who was hit in the head. Another would have scored on the past ball.
That would have tied it and shifted the momentum for sure!
What else would you expect from these umpires.
Did you see where the CEO of Little League Baseball was in the booth with the ESPN crew and they said something about the umpires and the CEO (Steve) says that these are the best umpires that Little League has to offer.
We, umpires, know that is not the truth. To the public though, what might they think when they hear that, then see these guys and gal constantly missing calls.
