QUESTION: During a weekenf PONY state finals tourney, the plate ump was hit by a pitch that the catcher did not catch. It was obvious that the pitch was thrown to intentionally hit the ump. Previous to the pitch the pitcher/catcher had a conference (no coach). The ump had just warned the catcher about her unsportmanlike attitude. The ump warned the pitcher, catcher and coach. Should he have ejected any or all involved? To me this is the same as intentionally hitting a batter. If I had been the plate ump I would have ejected the pitcher/catcher as the coach did not participate in the event.

Dump the catcher, it's her job to stop the ball. However, I don't doubt by the time the coach is done questioning your integrity, intelligence and family tree, they will be gone too.
