PR/SC 7th inning meltdown

Was curious about the bottom half of the 7th inning of the LL Big League Championship game between South Carolina and Puerto Rico on ESPN yesterday. PR was up 4-0 going into the bottom half-inning. South Carolina won the game. The umpires handled things the way they were trained, without the benefit of instant replay.

Plate Ump
1) Handling upset pitcher disapproval.
2) Handling post-collision at the plate.

Base Ump
1) Possible 4-6 force out ruled safe .
2) Possible interference by runner on F4.

A great half inning to discuss handling those big game, high pressure situations that pop up. Perhaps someone can post "youtube" video of the half-inning for those who missed it.
