unbelievable so of the posts regarding this game!!!! and so much childish bickering.
many games have calls that are debatable. everyone, fans, coachs, players, can get caught up in the moment and not agree with a call. from the posts about this game, the umpires were from erwin, knoxville or somewhere else, many posters have different opinions on that! one post also indicates that the alcoa girl was running to first in fair territory which is a violation, if that was what the umpire at home plate saw, that is what he is to call. coaches (including those in the stands) and fans may not have seen that. if you watch a major league game, the officials/umpires leave right after the game, they don't explain anything to anyone. it's to bad that tssaa only sends 2 to a game, which in many situations causes questionable calls. accept the calls and get on with your life.
i'm not an umpire, don't want to be. many of the posts on this topic indicate that several of you should be or want to be.
apply for it, take the grief if you can.
i bet you can't walk on water
