Blown Call From This Fall

[vcblue]

18A National Qualifier. Winning team moves on to National, Losing continues on to battle for last 2 spots. Bottom of 7th, Home (offense) down by 1. Runners on 1st and 2nd, no outs.

High fly ball about 15 feet past 2nd. F8 had to move fast to make the catch. I am BU I button hooking in, both runners are holding half way. F8 has to dive, but I see a catch, but I don't hear my partner say out. Runners take off to the next base. Ball back to pitcher play over and I turn to look at my partner. He has his arm up signaling out. D coach yells to throw the ball to second, tag the runner and step on the base. 3 outs. We get together both have a the ball caught (wish he would have yelled out).

Walking off the field I hear, "you sucked when she was 10, and you are worst now that she is 18". Pretty sure it was directed at my partner because the loosing team was from his area.
