I am really suprised the D-HC didn't protest my "call". The USSSA Director (and I do not mean UIC) in our neck-of-the woods is a real jerk. I have a friend, that was behind the plate in a USSSA men's slowpitch tournament. The batter had two strikes and struck out on a foul tip. He protested that a foul tip was a foul ball. The batter was said USSSA Director son. The Director upheld the protest, UNTIL my friend showed him in the rule book that the Director did not know the rules of the game and had to reverse himself.

The next time his son came up to bat he started in that his father wouldn't my friend get away with another B.S. call like the foul tip call; he never got to take a pitch in the at bat, because he was in the parking lot., .
