Also learned that there is 1 ego maniac ump there playing by his own rules.

Game 1 he walks off field as timer goes off while first batter in bottom of seventh is at bat in a tie ball game. Rules were to complete the inning. Even after visiting team advised him of the rule he said, "Game Over". and proceeded to umpire tent. Five minutes later TD asked this ump(Louie) to put his shirt back on and for teams to take the field to complete the game.

Then on Sunday, poor old Louie had a chance to redeem himself, but no. Now in the bottom of the sixth inning the timer goes off with Home Team winning. At the end of inning he shuts off alarm on timer and advises field ump and coaches to take the field for the seventh inning. Poor Louie, it appeared in both situations he was trying to help a Michigan team out... HMMMMMM.

Chatted with Louie's field ump at the bar and he said, "Louie tends to do that. Plays by his own rules sometimes".

We all learned it is time for Louie to hang it up.
