I remember those days. Two games come to mind both in the same year.

Game 1: I was the BU and not once but twice the same player (Home Team) hits a HR and misses 2B both times.


Game 2: I was the PU. It was a weekend tournament in Michigan between two high schools (neither which was the host school) that were greatly mis-matched. The very good team was the H and were scoring at will in the bottom of the first. With still no outs and the bases loaded, the batter walks (on four pitches naturally), the runner on 3B crosses HP without touching hit and proceeds directly to her team's dugout. I ring up the out, and naturally her coach wanted to know how I could make such a call. Next inning same player is on 3B again when the batter walks; she starts to trot toward HP then makes a big theatrical slid across HP. I scored the run and then ejected her for unsportsmanlike conduct. LOL
