    Below is from another site.  If that is what happened, then I believe they missed that one.  Where is Mr Ump when we need him?

     

    “Interesting situation in the Hallsville-Barbers Hill championship game today.  

    Tied at 1 in the bottom of the sixth, Barbers Hill has men on second and third with one out. Sacrifice fly to center plates a run, and the guy on second advances to third on the throw to the cutoff man. Hallsville throws the ball back over to second, claiming that the runner left too soon on the tag. (Note: this was not an appeal after the action was dead, this was all part of the original sequence.). Umpire calls the runner out, as apparently he did leave early.  

    Inning over. The run is taken off the board, and we're still tied. Hallsville dugout celebrates and taunts the Barbers Hill team. Crowd is confused and arguing over whether the run should count.  

    Umpires meet to discuss things as the teams are getting ready for the top of the 7th. They change the call and the run is put back on the board, and the score is back to 2-1. Hallsville coach is ticked, and I believe he may have been tossed. Couldn't tell because it was a very casual job by the umpire as he escorted the coach away from the third base box. Hallsville goes quietly in the top of the 7th and Barbers Hill wins the title.  

    I was under the impression that since the runner on second failed to tag up properly, that out became a force situation and the timing of the lead runner crossing the plate didn't matter. I guess I was wrong.”

    It is a timing play as stated before. It may look like a force but it is not. It is just one way you can appeal that the runner left early. In High School ball you can also verbally appeal a play with no throw made.

    Cmon, everyone knows its China Grove and there's Texarkana Pleasant Spring up on the border. BTW the Doobies rock, saw them backup Chicago at the Woodlands.

    I saw Doobies at the Woodlands also but Foreigner was the headliner. Seen Chicago twice.
