The ncaa needs to get umpires who are gonna say to the batters u were not hit by the pitch. This game alone, there was one guy who was hit three times (or was it 4?). COME ON! he wasnt actually hit half of those. the guy leaned into the pitch a little made no intent to move and still was clearly not hit! it was a borderline strike!! The manager of Fullerton did such a good job in that circumstance and that game to keep his head for how he could have been reacting. still he was tossed which IMO is total for lack of a more appropriate word ****.He had to put up with the home plate umps **** several times that game, there were a bunch of HBP's in that game and in such a major situation was totally unfair to the players and fans of Cal State Fullerton, and everyone involved with that school have the right to be P O'd. sorry to blow off such steam, but that was one gm where the officiating led to a team who made 6 errors and did NOT play better baseball to win...

just a note the computer seems to the thinks that
C R A P is a bad word, i was not saying an inappropriate 4 letter word

See my post below in the "Ask the umpire" section.

That was the quintessential example of small ball. Many coaches, especially west coast JUCO's preach anyway you can. By the way don't feel too bad for CSUF I played against the HC when he coached JUCO and they purposely straddled the plate, I was catching. We hit 3 of there's and they hit 3 of ours before the ump starting calling us back.

Chris - Fullerton can only blame the system they more-or-less invented themselves being used against them. Fullerton is well-known for leaning into pitches on the West Coast...and the Irvine coach was an assistant at Fullerton before taking the head coach job at Irvine.

I like Fullerton, root for them, respect them...but on this point I do not feel sorry for them one single bit. "Turnabout is fair play" as they say.
