I also thought Romero's shot down third clearly went over the bag. Michigan would have scored two there - whole new ball game.

That Michigan catcher (Lauren Sweet) wanted no part of Haegar sliding in. She muffed a well thrown ball. She was worried more about Haegar than she was catching the ball.

For sure... that ball needed to be caught out in front of home plate and she wouldn't have had to mix it up with Haegar.

I concur that the strike zone was all over the place. The only comment Schilling made during his broadcasting fiasco that resonated with me was when he asked how umpires were chosen for the WCWS.

You know Shilling took a lot of heat, but he asked several good questions. Ones that the more advanced fan might smirk at, but it forced the rest of the crew to answer and perhaps educate more the viewing audience then they realize.

The funny thing is that no one on the broadcast sounded real sure about how the umps are chosen.
