I had the 1st and 2nd no one out. ASA slowpitch I'm PU. Low liner to short, no catch, guide to ground. Step on 2nd throw to first for double play.
I signal ball is down and give safe signal. Every other person on the field and within earshot thought I got it wrong and was a complete numbskull.
Partner BU is giving a not-so-subtle out signal on the initial contact with the glove, which all of the players saw. I go to him and say I didn't see a catch, and if we were going IDB he has to have control which he did not. Partner shrugs and says, "its your clal, but I think he's out and dead ball"
What a frikkin' lonely feeling. I really had 2nd thoughts, but had recently read up here (thanks a heck of a lot!
) and knew I had the call right for ASA.
What was shocking is how no one else shared my opinion.
