Interesting and weird

Yours isn't the only sport where coaches want crossover rules. I was doing the plate in a womens rec game when the shortstop made a falling down attempt to catch a blooper and sure enough the ball popped out of her glove when she hit the ground. I call the no catch. Coach comes out yelling that the ground caused her to drop the ball and that it should be ruled a catch. I replied "No sir, that's football, we're playing softball and the ground did indeed cause her to drop the ball." Players from the team started to quietly beg me to eject him for their sake and I'm afraid that when he started whinning again later I accomodated them and everybody had fun the rest of the game. Jim
