Playing in an ASA tournament against a team from MI. Pool play you can bat your entire roster, but the caviat is you cannot use last out as a courtesy runner only someone not in the game. Fair enough!
Our pitcher hits a gap shot and ties the game, but she is a bit slow and is held to a double. I was batting everyone so I have no runner, bummer because the last out has serious wheels. Next batter hits a shallow shot to the outfield and the pitcher can only advance to 3rd. Our fast runner would have scored, but such is life.
Other team is up and their pitcher hits a single, really big girl that is slower than our pitcher. They send in a pinch runner, but they are also batting everyone. I question it and the Blue says "By his rule they are allowed to". I point out that the tournament rules state otherwise and he barks back that it is his decision.
Next batter swings at a drop curve drives it into the ground and runs into it as she is out in front of the plate. Everyone sees this but no call from the plate blue, I question it and the blue just looks at me like I am speaking russian. Doesn't even bother to respond to my request. Now they have 1st & 3rd with one out. Did I mention that inbetween every half inning the blue and the other coach were just buddy buddy, wispering to each other.
LOL I feel better now.
