Crowd mic inside backstop?

[voiceoflg]

Broadcaster here. During the second round of the Ga. AA playoffs, our crowd microphone nearly drowned out my color commentator and I. I want to keep the microphone to pick up the ping of the bat and the pop of the mitt, but not so much of the crowd that it drowns us out. It was on the table with us elevated right behind the backstop

I'm thinking of asking the umpires if they would allow the microphone cord to be taped to the backstop and the microphone to lay on the grass facing home plate? The microphone is only about eight inches long and about an inch wide.

Would you allow such a request?

Thanks in advance.
