Posted this here because the softball board gets so little traffic. Interested to hear your reactions.

Never seen anything like that before. Kind of surprised she was allowed to stay in the game.

You can't even argue she was blocking the plate, there was no play at the plate.

Wow.

What in the hell was the umpire looking at? She should have been thrown out for that.

1) Plate umpire was looking directly at the play the first time and passed on it, not sure why. His responsibility is first to the play at the plate before he rotates down.

 

2) If we give him the benefit of the doubt that he wasn't sure what he saw the first time, then he definitely should have been looking the second time and done something.

 

This is an immediate ejection for unsporting behavior. Judging by the field (looks like UT) I'm guessing this was at a minimum a tournament game, if not post-season.

 

Getting two looks at it, hard to image why he passed on them.

I agree with some of the comments on the Youtube channel, that ump should never ump another game in his life. ridiculous!

Why are there so many people around home plate?

One runner scored ahead of the one that got chucked, on deck batter and first base backing up throw, coach was way up the line as well.
