Was it intentional?

Either intentional or the world's worse catcher.

Yes, it was intentional. Who drops to the LH batter's box to block a FB INSIDE?

I disagree on filing charges but I would have dumped the P, C and coach. I would have forfeited the game as well as done everything in my power to get them banned from playing in tourneys by that sanctioning body.

AND, if the P and C did a better job, the ump wouldn't have "missed" pitches.

1. Pitcher, catcher and head coach should be ejected.

2. No grounds to forfeit gamee.

3. Umpire committed cardinal sin by walking out of the game. He should be suspended.

1. Pitcher, catcher and head coach should be ejected.

2. No grounds to forfeit game.

3. No way Im walking out of the game. might be some macho BS, but no way Im giving them any indication or satisfaction that they hurt me.....

I say forfeit game because I think there is something in the USSSA rules covering sportsmanship. Of course, I haven't played in a USSSA tourney in years so this may or may not be the case. I just remember reading rules with my assistant coach and th esportsmanship piece was in there and mentioned forfeiture.

And, I agree, there is NO WAY I would let them know I was hurt.

Definitely agree I am ejecting coach, pitcher, and catcher. Walking off the field is not an option. Right or wrong you lose crediblity if you walk off.

I agree. Dump those players, and as long as they have a coach (no pulling parents from the stands) and enough players left, once the coach ejected leaves and the pitcher and catcher are replaced and the ejected ones are either under supervision in the dugout or gone, continue the game.
