We felt that the ball that basically bounced over the first basenan's head could not be ruled and error because of the "bad hop". It was in no way a routine play.

I disagree completely. Not that it matters but the ball didn't bounce over his head. It was a routine play. No way that ball should get into the outfield. At worst you knock down. It went right past him about waste high. He tried to glove it instead of getting in front of the ball. A guy sitting next to me made the comment " If I'm Butler I throw the next pitch into the pressbox if they score that one a hit." The play by your 3rd baseman in the 1st inning that was ruled an error with him making the play in front of SS was more difficult than the play at first.

OK. We'll call it a wash and Butler's 3 runs were all earned.

[/quote]IMO both plays were errors---GCM would have to play a nearly flawless game to win this series as Nederland was clearly the better team and an error-less is what GCM needed but did not get. Errors happen in baseball---good luck to the Dogs

I agree. Both were errors and in a game like this you have to play almost perfect to upset the better team.

[/quote]Yes both were errors and plays both kids have made pretty much all season. It still comes down to you won't win scoring 0 runs in 2 games no matter who you play. I actually counted 5 errors for the game for GCM for what its worth. But overall a good season for GCM and every kid on that team has alot to be proud of.
