question for umpires

[coachz]

Thanks for the replies folks.

The tournament rule was " no protests" so that wasn't an option. With the time limit so close I really felt hamstrung, so I let it go.

I've already got a printout of the rule laminated and sitting in my wallet just in case.

Funny thing was I asked the ump after the game, why he approached my pitcher and he had no explanation. He repeated that the motion was legal, but he felt he had to address the other teams complaints!

We lost the game after a walk ,a strikeout, a bunt, and a throwing error with two outs and bases loaded. Tough lesson for the kids, we put ourselves in position to lose with mental errors earlier in the game, but i think the umps bad judgement tipped the scales.
