I have this funny feeling it was those two hr workouts and a lot of skill.

Nice job!
The best part of the whole deal was the e-mail he sent me afterwards:

"March 19- W 10-0 0 BBs 9 Ks 0 Hits. We came out ready to play."

That's the entire e-mail. I can't wait to see what the next two months hold for this kid.
Just when you think you have seen it all. I was at a game the other day and its was the home teams final AB in the bottom half. They get the bags to 2nd and 3rd and down a run,(at home against another local HS)

Kid lines one to the OF and the homeplate ump calls the game as the OF is picking up the ball(light enough to hit but too dark to throw and catch i guess) to make a play that would have been the winning run.. never have I seen this,...and hope to never again.

YIKES
I didnt think that a game could be called in the bottom of an inning. in other words, if the sixth inning begins, then you cant let the top of the inning be played and then call it.

CSl umpires always call games or allow games to go on considering the ability to see and/or play for the entire inning (both halves).

This being the case, i find it perplexing that the Barrington game got through the top half of an inning and then was called.

Make sense?
Ballfan--

There is a difference between being called for weather and called for darkness. The rule you state is for weather conditions like rain resulting in poor fielding conditions--howver, is this also the case with darkness? That is why I mentioned earlier how umps just call games at the full inning, anticipating darkness in the CSL and MSL.
