she's billy martin's cousin and a distant cousin of earl weaver. If i were the ump, I'd send her back to the bench and let her protest. Even if she wins the protest, it's highly unlikely a replay of the game would be awarded and if she does, chances are, I won't be around to umpire it. Yeah she fights for her team to win but at what cost? She showed zero sportsmanship there. There's got to be a balance between showing good sportsmanship and winning.

If it were up to me, I'd have the umps give sportsmanship grades for each game and teams that accumulate too many F's or average below like say a C will miss the playoffs and if they do it too much, get put on probation or something like that. If this happened in my Intramurals league, even if I had to give her a win, I'd give her a F in sportsmanship, thereby severely hampering her playoff hopes...

we don't need Billy Martins and Earl Weaver's running college teams.
