Dyersburg's first baseman

Yesterday in the DL/Dyersburg game, the go ahead run for Lipscomb was scored after an umpire overturned a call. Lipscomb Coach Ernie Smith, appealed the original call at first to the homeplate umpire, he over ruled the call and the runner was safe. Naturally, both sets of bleachers saw things the way that was best for their favorite team. The Dyersburg coach came out and calmly defended his team. I thought both coaches stood up for their players in a very sportsmanlike way.

In today's Tennessean, the Dyersburg first baseman, Tyler Lyons, was quoted as saying "They made the right call switching it back. I definitely came off of the bag."

What a tribute to that young man! In a day where many athletes look to blame officials, this young man stuck up for them, even when the call hurt his team.

Both coaches handled the situation professionally and Tyler Lyons proved himself to be mature beyond his years. He is a credit to his family, his team and his school. I hope good things will always happen for him.

He may be classy but cursing at the umpire at the end of a game is not the right thing to do! You may change your opinion if you saw how he acted after the game tonite!!!!!!

What happened with the catcher from DL pushing a player from Dyersburg? Did that happen?

 

 

 

I think the 1st baseman for Dyersburg is a good kid and did a classy thing admitting the call was correct.

 

Its a very emotional game when its down to the end like this. He had a tough nite at the plate and probably got frustrated with the last strike call. That shouldnt undermine the classy thing he did the day before.

 

Dont know what occurred with the DL players except the emotions at the end of the game but, again, it was an emotional game for everyone. Those are two good teams that played hard. Lets leave it at that.
