Venting ahead...
Let me preface this by saying that this is partially my fault as I was official book and should have noticed the wrong girl up to bat and in the future I’ll know to not actually trust teams...
This past weekend, one out in the inning. Girl comes up and gets a called strike call and then hits a foul ball. Count is 0-2. Next pitched was a great pitch and was another called strike. Our team is cheering, the scoreboard records the 2nd out. Pitcher was happy.
Apparently, the same girl comes back up, gets two balls thrown and then gets a single.
Then the other team says - why are there two outs? They asked me and I said we had one girl ground out and the last girl struck out. They said, no that girl is on first.
This was handled very poorly by the umps as they had me go to the opposing team’s scorer and they were like..no she didn’t strike out.
Umps weren’t sure and said she didn’t strike out. Even though the home ump said he did call the third strike.
Looked at their game changer replay and they “missed” the third pitch.
DH heard the batter and the first base coach admit, yes she struck out.
But somehow this team got away with it. Granted we would have probably still lost, but any ounce of respect I’d have this team is completely gone. The entire day was kind of ruined for me after that as well.
I am really curious if the players mom has it on video as well. I really wish it was a team that recorded their games. I just can’t see how they could live with themselves lying like that.
