Unhappy

Okay guys and gals,

I just got back from sat. tournament games. I was base umpire for both back to back games. I know that I'm a rookie, but can someone tell me what is the best way to either stay in the slot (between 1st and 2nd). I did what the book and what was taught at the clinic.

1. When ball is hit in the outfield the I have the batter-runner all the way to 3rd base? Right.

2. Now what would you say if you had a runner on 1st base and the ball is hit to the center field. The runner starts for 2nd base, now that I ran up in the infield and did the button hook, I see the ball being thrown back to 2nd and they make a play at 2nd. The question is now that I moved over a little to see the play and the ball is thrown to 2nd base as the runner gets there. So I called him out, but the coach now are on me, but I called like I called it. OUT!!!

3. Now another one happen when the team was trying for a double play. I stayed right there between 1st and 2nd I stayed with the ball as it went to second, called the runner out going to 2nd, but I did not get a good look at 1st. I ask for assistants from the PU, in which is my UIC. UIC called batter-runner out.

4. Another inning the other team, tried to due another double play. I called runner out at 2nd, but this time I saw the batter-runner, (now can anybody say they did this, I had in my head safe, but my body movement) said OUT. Now the UIC called safe. UIC motion to me slow down before making a call. Now both team are riding my A$$.

But like they say umpire have to be def.

I know that I am just starting but today was a bad day for the buddha.
