I want to thank Doug and the Hawks for hosting a great event. There is alot of noise on another thread about some shenanigans at a 10u game - however, we, the 01' Mason Thunder had a great competitive experience. Thanks for bringing together some great competition for us to measure ourselves against.
We as coaches all received the phone call about the umpire shortage on Saturday morning, it is what it is...
We had great umpiring both days with the exception of our "professional ice hockey referee" at Art Van Ata on Saturday.
True story, I had the same ump, during school ball and he came out to ground rules and said, " I don't know alot about this softball, but I am a professional hockey referee."
He was bad again today, but was equally bad for us and the Express.
He by no means cost us a game, but did provide some great entertainment....
