First game Saturday morning. Very first batter of the tournament. The count is 3-1 and the pitcher throws another ball; should be ball 4 and a walk. Nope, umpires says the count was 2-1, and that was only ball 3. I am keeping the book and of course I tell the umpire that that was ball 4, both of the other coaches on our team also knew it was ball 4. Ump tells me if I say another word about this he will kick me out of the game. So I shut up.
The girls up to bat fouls off the next two pitches and then strikes out. There was only one umpire per game. Did not make any difference in the end, we ended up winning 3-1. It most likely cost us two runs in the first inning though, assuming the inning would have gone the same way.
