I am wondering what the plate umpire was watching to miss this? Oh, that’s right up you said it was USSSA. He was probably counting all the money he was going to make working 8 games in a row.
One time my DD hit a ball hard and low that bounced before being snagged by the pitcher, but the only people who apparently realized that were the HP umpire, DD, and myself. Everyone else thought it was a line drive catch. The runner on 1B wouldn't move even though I repeatedly told her to run. Chaos ensued.
