Maybe they are wrong, Im just passing along what they reported.

I think Wartburg was the home team. The TSSAA requires refs to exit the field from the winning teams side. had the umps done this it may have never happened.

Here is what the local news showed. It has footage from both videos...... http://www.local8now.com/home/headlines/Player-takes-swing-at-ump-after-East-Tenn-high-school-baseball-game-256288961.html

There are indeed two seperate videos of this incident. One taken by a Wartburg parent/fan from up on the hill and another taken by a Coalfield parent/fan taken from maybe 3 feet away. You can see her using her cell phone to record the whole thing in the wartburg parents video. The second video is much more damning for the ump. He clearly loses his cool and starts towards people screaming and pointing his finger. Within seconds of pointing his finger the player throws a hay maker that clearly misses. The local Knoxville news even showed it still framed and the punch clearly misses. The swing was so hard that if he had hit him he would have probably knocked him out. The ump is just as guilty as the player and should never ump another baseball game. The school should be glad their punishment wasnt worse.
