Yep...

Who else was on the field with Diane? Wasn't she at the Gold last year also?

Yes. Diane was requested by the tournament UICs.

I'm not sure who the other umpires were. If I find out prior to someone posting, I'll let you know.

Thanks

Phonetic spelling:

1st base - John Stoodley
3rd base - Sue Sawyer

My apologies to these umpires if I butchered their names. The entrie crew worked a very good game.

It seems there was an issue concerning one pitcher digging hole in front of the PP and the other team complaining about it.

Apparently, a fair amount of showmanship, not to be confused with sportsmanship , demonstrated by both teams trying to get any type of advantage.

Might be Sue Sawyer.....but with an east coast drawl...it might have sounded like Shorer...

Thanks for the info.

Congrats to Diane, Sue and John!

Mike/SOCALUMPS,

Please pass on my congratulations to Diane (Lil Bit) and Sue. Had the pleasure of working with Sue at a Gold National a few years back.

congrats to Diane and john who I have worked with int the past and Sue. It is nice to know the people who have the shot at the gold ring.

To those of you who know John Stoodley, this was a special situation for him.

John has a tumor in his neck, located between the carotid artery and jugular; as of the last report I have, he will undergo surgery sometime this month.

I have had the pleasure to work with John several times over the years, both as a fellow umpire, and as an ASA National umpire coordinator. He and his wife, Suzanne, always make an ASA National umpire crew part of their family.

I know you will all wish John well.

congrats to them all! And I wish John the best.
