My wife and I had a shot down the 3rd base line that bounce behind the temp fence in the outfield into a dead ball area....She was chasing the ball(3 person crew) as it could have been fair/foul ect....When it went behind the fence the outfielder threw her hands up and my wife killed the play by yelling dead ball.....No Problem.
I stop the runner who was rounding 2nd and pointed for her to return to 2nd base...At which point in time the 1st base coach comes unglued....."NO BLUE....She Gets 3rd base...When the ball went dead she was at 2nd base". I was dumbfounded since this coach had not given us any problems during the tournament....Said no coach ground rule double. She stays at 2nd. "No Blue you are wrong.". Now I'm pissed....."NO COACH.....BOOK RULE GROUND RULE DOUBLE!!! GET BACK IN YOUR BOX".
Just then another assistant yells...."The umpire is right...Don't mess with him".
The coach apologized after the inning saying he just got excited in the heat of the moment....Yeah right.
