I was doing a tournament final in Ohio many years ago. Pretty good quality teams and good games all weekend. It is now Sunday night and we are in the 16th inning...we had some runs scored in the extra innings but, the home team always tied it up.
We had a tie score, 2 outs and bases loaded with a weak batter and an 0-1 count, strike two and the catcher air mails the pitcher and the winning run scores.
The losing parents are screaming at us and one moron, in particular screams: These girls played their hearts out blue and because YOU want to get home early, you let it end like this? THIS is how you are going to let it end? Let the girls decide the game, not you! We got a police escort to our dressing room and waited for the hooligans to leave.
