Fun at this weekend's tourney

[Stu Clary]

Johnny Carson would have loved the tourney I worked over the weekend: Lot's of wild and wacky stuff. In the eight games I worked we had...

OBS on F6 (second AB of my first game) I had to explain the rule to DC.

R2 on 2B rounds 3B trying to score. She sees R1 retreating to 3B. R2 cuts accross infield retreating to 2B. Grumbles from defense dugout, but theres no appeal made.

BOO.

Unreported substitute.

Intentional LBR out so that visitors could take advatage of the tourney's "Drop Dead" rule, and the home team's use of leagal stalling tactics to counter-act the visitors.

20 second IP call along with the typical "You're the only umpire thats called that on us all year".

Two umpire injuries.

(and finally) A fantastic championship game where the home team scored 4 runs in the bottom of the 6th to win 6-4.
