It's a shame such a great tournament was ruined by a terrible home plate umpire in the Silver Bracket final. He clearly did not know the rules and it seemed he felt like his ego was bigger then the game. An umpire in that big of a game should be cognizant of the rules and try to be as transparent as possible, not change the game with an obvious miscall.

 

That is taking nothing away from East Roberston, who played a great game to win the title.

 

Like in years past, these two squads will more than likely meet again in the region tournament, should be a heck of a game!

Also, the tournament's lack of respect for the media members that were there covering the event for 12 1/2 hours on Saturday was disappointing.

We are are professionals and we know what we are doing as far as never interfering with play. If there was rules that stated there should be designated media areas painted on the field, then why were they not provided, like the areas in Murfreesboro at the state tournament? It only takes a couple of sprays from a paint can to make a box?


Our job is to report the event and as far as I know, out of all 24 teams there, we were the only media members reporting your event and supporting the teams and the girls that play this great game.

Thank you,

First , I don't schedule umpires...you got a problem with them ...find out who the assigner is and seek out who was behind the plate for the Silver Championship game. Overall they did a great job! These guys put in some long hours all weekend long!! 

 

Second, never saw you at the tourney and if you had a problem why didn't you seek me out. Williamson county papers were at the tourney, Mute point!!

 

Sorry you had a bad experience. Everybody I talked to had a great experience!!
