Second Game


In the second game of the tournament, we had the same two umpires except the fat umpire who was behind the plate in the first game was now on the bases.  Again the game was tied late in the game.  We had a runner on third base with none out and our batter hit a fly ball to left field.  Our runner tagged up and when the outfielder caught the ball, he ran home easily.  The other team appealed saying the he left early and the home plate umpire said he did leave early.  So he was out.  There was no way that he left early.  He was going to score easily and didn't have to leave early to score.  But now we had two out and nobody on base.  We didn't score in the rest of the game and we lost 3-2 in extra innings.  So now we were out of the playoffs and we just as easily could have been in the playoffs if we had won those two games.
