Late on Sunday, the director told us about this play. We all laughed at the decision to have a "do over". My personal opinion is that if the defense pitched the ball with the runner still on the base... it's as much their fault as the offensive for trying to "pull one".

When we were told the story, I thought the director mentioned it had occurred at the SP tournament field the night before, but perhaps I misunderstood that part. His version was almost the same... without the "umpy" thing.
