To be fair and balanced

she apparently is in the ICA Umpires HOF, so Illinois coaches like her.

Coaches in this series, maybe not so much.

Umpire draws ire of both coaches - ColumbiaTribune.com

The one play that stands out in my mind where she screwed up the most is where she was trucked by the GA catcher. Her mechanics were awful on that one, she looked up for the ball rather than checking the catcher. The result was she prevented the catcher from making a play and almost injured herself and the catcher. Surprisingly, the announcers didn't have a whiff of criticism for her on that one after making umpire criticism their focus before the play.

Tonight, the strikes on the catcher pulling pitches.....most of us would be hammered for that at any level above 10U.
