A team MUST start with nine (9) players. This game should never have started.
"A ball is hit straight up in the air. The umpire tries to get out of the road of the catcher but actually gets more in the way. The catcher misses the ball but the umpire calls the batter out because he calls interference on himself. I thought the umpire was just part of the field."
The umpire is an idiot, and should not be allowed to work again without being thoroughly trained.

Well, he kicked the rule concerning interference, but at least he properly allowed the game to start. ASA has been using the shorthanded rule for a few years now.
