12 y/o travel game, 1 hr. 18 min., 4-3 good game. Losing team is up in top of the fifth, an inside pitch makes the batter duck, he gets hit in the helmet. The only problem was his helment was in the strike zone at the time. I call the pitch a strike and keep him in the box. The third base coach says the ball hit him and I tell him his head was in the strike zone when he got hit. End of discussion and on with the game. Wow, I thought I was in for a sh**house, nothing, not even from the fans, will wonders never cease.
