Seems like we all have different opinions in what constitutes a "tie" and who makes the best play and other factors. When I make this call, I tend to get and out. This is just my method and the method that most umps in our association us as well. I remember the first organized umpire meeting that I ever attended, about 12 years ago, the clinic leader made it a point to tell us that there are NO TIES in baseball/softball. THE TIE GOES TO THE UMP...GET AN OUT!
