I'll make this short and sweet....14 yo g'son's baseball tourney, Sat. and Sun....they played their way thru the 5 game bracket without a loss, and made it to the championship game, against a tough team, last night.
Score 0-0 in the 6th inning, they have a man on third with two outs....they hit a fly ball between center and right field....both our outfielders could make the catch, when their 1st base coach screams out at the top of his lungs,
"MY BALL, MY BALL, I GOT IT.!!!"
Both of our outfielders heard it, and they both just froze, thinking the other had been called off the catch....ball hits the ground between them, and runner scores....we protest, but ump said it was "legal baseball chatter"....next batter strikes out, but they lead 1-0.
We tie it up at 1-1, in the bottom of the final inning....2 outs, we have a man on third, and my g'son comes to bat....count is 3-2, and he hits a wicked curve ball about 150 feet, straight up into the air, between 1st and 2nd base....both their infielders are jockeying to make the catch, when OUR first base coach screams out, "MY BALL, MY BALL, I GOT IT!!!"
Both of them freeze, ball hits ground between them, our runner on third scores....WE WIN 2-1 !!!
