Danville 4 Bishop Brossart 3

Umpiring must have been horrendous in this one, as Brossart's Coach Rowe has gone his entire HC career (313 games) without getting tossed, and he's a pretty emotional guy!! Reports I've heard from the BB end was while the umps (especially the field ump who apparently spent the first several innings carrying on a running conversation with the Danville 1st baseman--a relative?? ) didn't help, mistakes probably cost the game. Didn't sound like either team brought their "A" game--no pun intended!!

 

Good luck to the Ads in the rest of the tourney!!

I don't know exactly what was said that got BB's coach tossed, because I couldn't hear what he was saying that far down the 1st base line. I do know that the home plate umpire (for who knows what reason) walked down the line to step in the the middle of it and the discussion went on for about 15 minutes. They umpires held up starting the bottom of the inning for 15 minutes talking with the coach, or letting him argue with them. Once the coach gets tossed he gets two minutes to leave the field. Don't understand what the deal was or what took so long.
