DD played for the Lasers Gold 18U in 2006, and had made it to the championship game of the NSA A World Series, being held at Berliner Park. Our pitcher at the time (Allison Cox) had pitched at least 5 straight games, all back to back. It was very hot and humid all day and she had been doing the same thing all day (picking up dirt, throwing it down and wiping her hand off), and had not been called for anything, all day long....nothing illegal about it. Well in the 3rd or 4th inning of the championship game, she does what she has been doing all day long, and the first base umpire calls "illegal pitch",.....just happened to be a runner on third, who was awarded home.....time ran out in the 5th inning of a "timed" National Championship game.....we lost 1-0!! I know, I know, I need to just get over it, lol....well, I am over it, but I'll never forget it!! LOL!!!
