home plate ump signals runs scores. the bad part of all this is the pu teaches this scenario in clinics.

What would you do if you were the 3U and saw the retreat and no one came up with dead ball,....?

The run scoring tied the game. there were 3 umps on third base side and fans and an 18U coach wondering wtf. It was not a good night for our association.

Why would the PU signal run scores unless there were two outs?

Was there a "chat" between the PU and DC regarding this play?

that makes sense Mike then i thought about it why would it make sense as there was 1 out and with two outs no run would score as br would have been the 3rd out.

anyone have a intro to ask the person what happened as it was our UIC.

no chat. I guess he did not know that was a dead ball. The vienna stars coach sure did and said he was going to ask her about it after the game but he did not.


and now i know what you meant.

where were you? they could have used you.

I gave my availability to NV and BROA back in early April and was assigned games from BROA through June 7th. When I wasn't scheduled for college games I worked for BROA. I would be surprised if my game count for NV totaled more than five.

Except for rain cancelations, I've worked just about every day.

As far as approaching the PU/Association UIC, I've got no intro for you other than perhaps sending a candy gram with a note.
