I worked a HS varsity game last night between two top-10 ranked teams. In extra innings with the underdog visitor winning by a run, 2 outs and runners on 1B & 2B, the game ended on a force play at 2B made by F8.
It looked exactly like this play from a day earlier:

I called the runner out, too. Game over. On the way out, a handful of dads thanked us for our hard work, good eyes, and hustle. It was such a good call that in the parking lot, a lady (who was easily eligible for Social Security) told my partner and I that it was the worst G@da#n officiating she'd seen
in her entire life, and she hopes we get fired after she writes a letter to the school board. I thanked her for attending the game and supporting the players. I'm still laughing about the collection of compliments.
Isn't this a fun avocation?
