Make sure you guys have a good pregame. If it's your first 90' game, you might want to get there early so you have time to discuss what each of you will be doing (ie covering third, caught fly ball/watching the runner, etc.). As Steve said, always keep an eye on the ball. Let the ball take you where you need to be. Angle is so much more important than the distance, you just need to see the play clearly, replay it in your head, and react. Don't be too quick, but be confident in your call. Just relax. You've umpired before, so it's not like you're in brand new. Baseball is baseball. It will be rough at first, but as the game moves along you'll feel more comfortable every time you move out there.
