Well at least of my century since I haven't been at it a century.

High School FED Rules

Bottom of 6th, home team is leading 1-0, runners on 1st and 3rd, 1 out.

Runner on third taking his lead, clearly in foul ground by 4 or 5 feet like he is suppose to be.

Defensive team knows that they are going to probably steal the runner from 1st to 2nd so they call a play to throw it down to third. Runner from 1st steals, the catcher who bobbles the ball from the glove then throws down to third where the runner is diving back head first and five hops it to the third baseman who doesn't pick it, ball goes into the outfield, runner from third scores and the runner on first now advances to third. The play is over and basically the game now. But wait, my partner calls time "Dead ball, runner on third is out for interference" The coach goes for what, my partner states not the runner on third now, the runner who scored is out. Now the coach is furious, shocked, etc. and wants to know what happens and I just stand kind of in awe and listen to this unfold. My partner states that he knows why the runner was in foul territory and when he went to go back to the bag he cut across the line and interfered with the throw on purpose.

I am meanwhile still standing there just listening to this waiting for someone to get tossed and then to come over and walk someone back to the dugout. Now the first base coach wants to appeal the play to me and I just say "NO" not happening and he wants to know why and I state "There is no way I can see that play or give any help on that play as to where your runner was at" Needless to say they don't score any runs that inning and it is still 1-0. Top of 7th, visitors get a runner on second and third, 1 out, but can't score. I was thinking to myself sh!t is going to hit the fan if they tie this up, but they didn't

When the game is complete, my partner stands on the field waiting to give game balls back and I bet 3 people asked him what happened on the field, as we are walking back to our cars another 2 asked, so I'm thinking maybe he is going to tell me he missed that play and bite the bullet on it and I was going to give my two cents, but no he now states his position and claims he was right and I just said OK, changed, got in the car, laughed and drove home. I really couldn't sit around and talk about it as I was in such awwwww over the play.

Anyone else ever had something that bad come up to where you really are at a loss for words on something like that?
