Son played in a wood bat tourney over the weekend (his first) and for the most part it was enjoyable. The host had numerous teams entered, we played two. We lost to the younger of the two and they seemed to be a well coached, well mannered group. We beat one of the older teams and their actions and words were the polar opposite of the younger group. Really silly junk, outrageously aggresive base running (ran them out of two innings)lack of game knowledge, two coaches ended up being run, and then the kicker... following what was the game turning play, their pitcher goes earhole as my son is next up. I had fully expected that from this crew however one of their parents then suggested he throw another his way ??? Unfortunately at this point I used some language I'd like to have back. I will admit the Plate ump was one of the poorer officials I've seen, but, as hosts you would think they would have already known that. Is this a common occurance for this host ? Really enjoyed the format but won't go back if this is the norm.
