Ha a couple in Westlake, La this weekend.

1st one, got to use one that has been around awhile.

Teams in loser bracket, Team A using their ace, knowing if they lose saving
her means nothing, Team B taking different approach, using a whatever.
Team B pitcher rarely finding the zone. Team B coach really harping on my
K zone. It is 90 + and humid. He finally tells me I am missing a good game.
Yea, you know what was coming. "I know coach, but the UIC told me I had
to work this game." He did not like that and really went off, but I informed
him he was staying, I had to.

R1 on 2B, ball hit toward SS, runner seeing ball slows then bounce steps in
front of SS and somehow not hit my batted ball, but causes SS to lose sight
of ball, hitting her in throat. "Dead Ball, INT." Offensive coach comes out
arguing. [both PU and BU called play at same time] He loses argument, but
in parting say that had only been called 1 time on him, and that by a Texas
umpire. Little did he know, I was only Texas Umpire in the tournament.
