Softball catcher vacates her spot on pitch so umpire gets nailed

John Ferensen writes, "A girl’s softball game ... between the Cal Cruisers and Minors Gold in October ended abruptly after the Cruisers’ coach, pitcher and catcher conspired to deliver a cheap shot to the umpire — a retaliation move in response to a perceived blown call that walked in a run and reloaded the bases. After the Ball 4 call, Cruisers players and their coach convene on the mound, before resuming play. On the very next pitch, the Cruisers’ catcher immediately bails out of position, leaving the umpire vulnerable to the intentionally high pitch.
