Wow!!!!! Called a ball!!! Was a strike

This game was stolen, plain and simple.

unpires took the win from BC

[Callaway7]

Or... just spitballing a call was missed. But there's always the fact that blue was tearing it up at the plate driving in runs left and right.

[WO-S 89]

This was one of those games that who ever had last bat was going to win,  Good season Cardinals.  ,

Bridge City far exceeded all expectations for this season.  Every team except one goes home heartbroken each year. BC fans have to be excited about the future with so many of these kids coming back. 

Great season, Cards!

Loaded with freshmen and sophomores this season correct?

[Callaway7]

so wonder what's gonna happen for shoving the umpire?

Just hang on a few minutes, you can bet someone from this board who doesn't have a dog in the race will enlighten us all. 3 guesses who that is.....,,you won't need the last 2.

[CardinalBacker]

There was no shove. He was more like an aggressive fist bump/high five that the ump wasn't expecting. 

[BlueOwl]

This is what happened. There were 2 outs and the batter had 2 strikes on him. BC pitcher threw a fastball right down the middle and it was called a ball. Next pitch the CS batter gets the game winning hit driving in 2 runs. A couple BC players get in the umpires face (the one who missed the third strike call) after the winning run scored. BC coach ran out and got between his players and the umpire and started arguing with the umpire. I saw a BC player put his hands on the umpire and the coach had to pull a couple players away. The umpire behind the plate was not only bad the whole second game but the whole first game as well. A couple parents ran out onto the field also when all this was going down trying to get the players under control. A SELECT FEW of BC parents were out of line the whole game arguing almost every call. Yeah the umpire for sure blew the call and BC should be advancing but that's baseball. Can't argue balls and strikes. But I also heard that that umpire is from CS chapter.

This had nothing to do with CS celebration. It had everything to do with the umpire missing the call. The umpire had to be escorted off the field by police that's how bad it got. Also 4 BC dads got thrown out around the 4th or 5th inning for arguing.

I was only going by Gary's call of the game. He stated the celebration of China Spring kind of spilled over into some BC player's. Kids started shoving each other. He did state that Coach Landry was arguing with an ump and that AD Dubois was on the field as well trying to break up the mess.

Never did he say that China Spring started a fight with BC. That was what I was commenting on after kicker posted stating that CS started a fight.

[JWB]

I've never seen anything like it...I never like to blame a lose on an Umpire but the guy behind the plate is the worst Ive EVER seen. It actually started in game two when he was in the field. It was so obvious what he was doing it was sickening. Yes BC had opportunities to put the game way earlier but You can't expect to win, when your trying to beat the opposing team and the Umpires too! The CS batters were getting reprieves on numerous at bats in Gm 3....Unbelievable

I was typing fast, what I meant is what you said, CS started a fight with their celebration. Now intentional or not, I have no clue. I also heard, like you, Gary say something about CS players bumping into BC players.

[kicker]

And as someone mentioned earlier, it's hard to argue balls and strikes. It's a subjective call. I wasn't there but was listening, however someone posted the whole last at bat on Facebook. I'm sorry, but it sure looked like that was a pitch right down the gut. Now I couldn't tell left or right but it was, as we used to say, a (another name for a rooster) high fastball.

The celebration might have sucked in a few BC players and there might have been shoving from both teams but I was too busy watching what was going on with the umpire. 

[BlueOwl]

That umpire was no doubt the worst I've ever seen call a high school game

The person I heard over the crowd mic sounded like a BC fan. He was very upset with the result and the no strike call the pitch before the game winning hit.

Not being there and not having the opportunity yet to speak with Gary, I am speculating at best.

If you're speculating, why even post? This is the kind of crap that gets people stirred up.

That's what most do on this board td speculate and insinuate with a lot of non fact based comments.

I agree but when a moderator or director of the site does it, it's just bad. Sounds like a guy that's no longer on this sight. Starting to sound just like him. The guy that this guy dogged out for the way he acted. It's just sad to see. Unless it's Silsbee he has nothing positive to say especially against WOS and BC. Anything you say in any thread he brings up basketball.
