First Tournament

It was my first tournament as a coach of the Diamondbacks.  In the first game, the score was tied late in the game and there was a runner on first base.  Our batter bunted and the ball hit the plate and the catcher jumped out to get the ball and fell down.  Our batter should have been safe at first base but the umpire called it a foul ball.  The ball hit the plate which is in fair territory and bounced forward.  The catcher caught the ball in front of the plate and fell down in fair territory.  It should have been a fair ball and we should have had runners on first and second base with none out but the batter had to come back with another strike against him.  Then he struck out and we had missed a great opportunity to win the game.  The game went into extra innings and we lost 2-1.  I thought that was strange as well because the games had a time limit but also played extra innings to break the tie.
