Well, she was putting on a show for the home crowd, but apparently Girouard doesn't care for the umpire. The picture on LSU's softball page yesterday was that of Girouard in the same umpire's face as a BU, assumedly from Friday's game.

My question for the umpire (who I believe already wears glasses) is why continually walk away from the coach? All you are doing is adding to the coach's frustration and irritating him/her that much more and prolonging the confrontation. As was apparent in yesterday's game, the crew tag-teaming the coach did not help the situation.

Comment by the TH (early in game): 'These aren't just people in the seats, these fans are knowledgeable of the game, or at least think they are'. Maybe not verbatim, but it was stated as such.
