ASA Girls Slow Pitch National

[buddha69]

This weekend I called a 18A-12A under Slow Pitch National in Columbus, GA. I had a great time calling Friday, Saturday. If you never called a girls slow pitch game it is fun. Those girls can pitch better then the mens (ha ha). While Sunday was a totally different story, I had the privilages to be PU for the 14U Championship. The game started out good, Visitors was hitting the ball out from the start, home was doing okay. We had a three man crew going on in the game. I will not talk about my fellow umpires. I'm talking about me. While around the 4th inning visiting team open up the gates, then the bottom fell out from the home team, I was calling IP, then I didn't put up my left arm on some or I did it at the end of the pitches. We had atleast 10 to 15 runner scored on IP pitches, home team went through 5 different pitchers in that one inning.

I am so freakin mad at myself, I just fell a sleep out there. Home team girls could not pitch the ball over the 6ft high and if they did some would be a strike or be over the shoulder or inside.

I am so ashamed at myself, I let my UIC, A. UIC, ASA Rep, down on the way I did my game.

I know am a better umpire then this, I was having a good time till today. It was a long quiet ride home.

I learned from this and hope it will make me a much better ASA umpire from here on out. I learned, now I can teach and tell from this weekend.

I WILL BE BACK!!!!!!!
