This is concerning NFHS softball...Since I value the input that
is offered on this forum, I would like to hear how the ones of
you that call FED ball would handle this. Thanks

Last night in the second of my two games, this the varsity game,
I made I call that I was absoluately sure of. A bounding ball
down the third base line just about centering the base as it
bounded over it and then landed approximately 18 inches to maybe
24 inches in foul ground. All the time I am indicating fair ball.
Home team hit the ball, their dugout on the third base side of the
field. Visiting coach immediately rushes out of dugout when action
over, but time not called. [Runner had safely reached 3rd], neither
myself nor partner had called time. I did as soon as I saw her on
field and headed my direction. She is screaming and yelling about
how far the ball landed foul. I agreed with her. She apparently
thought I was being smart and started cursing. I told her to hold it
down and that she had best re-enter her dugout and that she was
restricted. Before the game was over I had time to think about her
actions and that the only other person who could have possibly
heard her remarks to me, was her catcher. I did not make an incident
report of the situation. Should I have?

BTW...Friday, I am scheduled for the plate with her team and the
other team that is tied for 1st in this district.

Thanks - glen
