So, here's the scenerio we had past weekend at Berliner. Didn't directly cause us to lose, but had big impact regardless.
runner at 1b, no out, 2-2 count on batter. High chopper to 3b, before the bag.. 3B has feet in fair territory, CLEARLY reaches out and fields ball that is in FOUL territory. When I mean clearly, i mean at least 18-24" outside the foul. Throws to 1b. ump rules out 5-3.
When questioned, the reply was "her feet were in fair territory, therefore fair ball". And when home plate ump got help from field ump, field ump CONFIRMED this erroneous ruling.
I know I would have won the protest, but the wallet was in the truck, far away. I did well, to not completely lose my mind and get tossed. Worst call I've seen in a while.
