Incredible that you would say: "all this could have been averted....If the coach." 3The UMPIRE blew the incredibly easy call. 4He might have been the only person there that did not know that the kid was supposed to be out. Think about that...5even the 9 year old players knew that this moron got the call wrong....6even the grandmothers knew it. But, it is allllll the coach's fault.

Guess you didn't understand my message. It would be easier to agree that yes, the young umpire did err. I would not go any further than that.

The 9 yr old runner had never been beaned by a thrown ball while running before, either.

So you had a dumb ump, possibly two. It would have been easier to educate both umpires. Remember your team's objective to legally score that run. As you continue to suggest, this would have been impossible for you to do in front of your players, fans and the other team. Incredible that you would say all this again. But knowing that, telling little Johnny not to stop until he reached the next base safely would not be very hard at all.
