Legion Tourney Ends On Weird, Weird Note The Ligonier American Legion baseball team was eliminated by Auburn (and others) in the weirdest finish ever seen in this part of the state. With both teams carrying one loss in the double elimination tourney Auburn came to bat in the first half of the twelfth. Two men reached base. With one ball and one strike on the batter he jumped away from a pitch that obviously hit his bat but the umpire called it a ball. He ruled that it hit the catcher on the shoulder. (Later the batter acknowledged it hit the bat). The batter swung and missed the next pitch but later got to first on a walk. The next hitter struck out and with the bases full and one out the next hitter took strike one. On the next pitch the runner from third broke for home on the “suicide squeeze” and the pitcher threw the ball low and outside with a curve the batter tried, but could not reach. The catcher caught the ball and the runner turned around and headed back to third. As the catcher straightened up to throw the batter lost his balance and fell into him. The catcher could not regain his balance in time to get the runner at third. The batter was not called out (see interference rules) and in addition the umpire ruled the pitch a ball. The umpire said he was in the batter’s box. He was — on the opposite side of the plate. Then came the clincher. The batter hit the one and one pitch (which should have been 0 and 2) long and high. The ball hit and bounced high. The umpire, standing in the infield, called it a home run. The fielders came running in — or should we say “charging in” yelling it bounced over which would have scored only two runs. In the argument the two outfielders were ejected from the game. The umpire told them they had one minute to leave the field and one word would forfeit. The boys started walking off the field, said nothing but threw a glove into the dugout (their dugout) and the umpire forfeited the championship game. The umpires showed one flash of good judgment — they left right away before the man who retrieved the ball and was sitting in his car just outside the fence could bring it in and tell them it bounced over (he was an ABburn fan) and before they could find out they had made three other goofs in the inning.
