Runner on 3rd, OBS called and it clearly was. Looked like pulled foot on the
throw to first, but coverage was so fast with the camera that I could not
tell.

1 out go ahead run on 3rd.

I wonder who the other female is at 3b.. could it be rachael??

Have not gotten a good look. Cannot say.

Game over, H Canes win 6-5.

Good rotation and looked like all got their calls correct.

Like Wade said, so bad camera angles, but good job overall.

Very cool to be able to watch several 18G games and watch the ASA 3 man rotations and watch the umpires work.

Good year!

Now if fall ball would hurry up and start!

Couple exposure tournaments as well as NAFA Qualifiers.

I knew the call at home was going to be safe before it happened. If it were out, Diane would probably have to buy the beer!😉

My search for umpires names came up blank. Do you know the other two
umires names?

Thanks

BTW, the plate umpire is from DE, Diane Carden.

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.

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.

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.

wadeintothem

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