In live action, that's close enough for an 'out'...I have no problem with the call either way. I can't bang on U1 for that (unusual) call, no matter how many times Mush-burger does it.
Besides, Karros SAID in an earlier game, "if it's a good defensive play, the ump is going to call the out." Who am I to argue with a former Major Leaguer?
I watched the game end to end, and thought overall the umpiring was decent. PU's zone was certainly better than some other games...he had a GREAT call on the ball-hit-the-bat-knob-foul ball (didn't give it to the batter despite his whining)....I thought he did a pretty good job. If all LLWS umpiring were to that level I wouldn't fuss (much
)
Fortunately, U2 did not factor into any important calls.
