By gosh, I just couldn't!!!
By the third inning I gave up.
The shortened zone stayed there.

Within an hour after the game, in polite conversation, I had apologized to both pitchers and each said no problem, it was there all day.

Have you ever been 'Stuck' in a place and totally unable to escape? It felt really weird.

When hat happens to me, I blame it on the depth of the holes the batters have dug in the batter's box. "That might have crossed at the knees, meat, but it was too close to the ground to call a strike."
