PIAA, you'll love this one. It's a USSSA Super NIT final. The game goes into a ninety minute rain delay. Upon resumption of play the HPU yells out, "We have bases loaded, two outs, Play ball!" The hitter pops up to first. The umpire yells, "Infield fly." It was a brain **** from the rain delay. He forgot there were two outs. He's an exceptional umpire. I was in the stands watching after our team was eliminated. Since I have a good relationship with the umpire I couldn't resist, "Want to get away for a while?"

Fortunately the fielder caught the ball. I was sitting in the first row. We had a good laugh between innings. I asked him what would have happened if the fielder dropped the ball. He said he would have apologized for being stupid and sorted it out.
