Catch/No Catch

IT was F! that 'trapped' the ball. Why he went after it and did not let F3 have it I don't know. At the last High School clinic I attended it was recommended that we make such calls. In 47 years of umpiring I have maybe called it 2 or 3 times and it has always been for young players. One of the regional clinics I went to they wanted us to be more vocal in our calls. I normally don't say much but am trying to accommodate the leagues requests.

Just thinking out loud here.

In you original post you were doing a summer U12 game (last year)and made this call. Now when questioned about why the heck you would even go there, (especially with 47 yrs experience), you tell us that your HS association asked that these calls be made????????????

Am I missing something here.????????????????
