After several innings, my "partner" UIC got
tired of telling boys to tuck in their shirts.
So, he told a boy to tuck it in before his
at bat. While the kid was doing so,
he directed the pitcher to pitch!
Then he called a Strike.

I had tried to call TIME when I saw the kid
out of the box, but the pitcher ignored me
because he was told to pitch. Of course,
the batter's coach went wild, and I don't
blame him. I decided not to intervene
and let him take the guff. I could have
corrected the situation since I had actually
called TIME.

I felt this was a cheap shot, not good game
management, and I just left the field at the
end of the game without discussion. His
windshield got smashed by a foul ball during
that game.
