Work a FED Var game alone a couple of years ago because my partner was a no show. Final score was visitors 28, home 0 in five innings. Thank God for the 12 run mercy rule. Towards the end of the game I called a girl out on a force at second where the second baseman was "in the area" of the bag when she received the ball. Not too many groans over that one. Another play at first where the girl was safe by 1/2 step. Nope, sorry you are out...
Visitor's coach had no problem with the call. As an ump you have to survive somehow.....
