Did pitcher and catcher take a cheap shot on umpire?

You make the call.

This happened in the 2008 AAA Georgia High School baseball championship game between Cartersville High School (batting) and Stephens County High School (fielding).

Cartersville went on to win the game 13-1 and the state championship.

Be sure to notice that several fans cheer the umpire getting hit and also sound their air horns. They were really upset with the umpires the inning before this happened. Very odd for a team that's still in the game, with a runner on base, and playing for the state championship.


No, they were not ejected. No instant replay available and no way to really prove, especially on the spot, that it was intentional.

if it was intentional.. the kid has nice aim

[jkcrusher18]

maybe the catcher got stung by some ants in his face mask? lol

[poshko41]

Yeah, looks to me like the catcher got crossed up. Probably called fastball but got the breaking pitch. He was probably expecting high heat but tried to compensate last minute thinking it was gonna land in the dirt.

you are an idiot

[MrMeebs10]

The catcher didnt call a fastball. Not intentional

[zoogh21]

I agree more

[disturbedone5009]

A few times when I pitched I wanted to do that.

This move by the catcher cost him a scholarship to his college

If you're getting your ass kicked and are selfish, sore loser, punk kids you would.

Good for them. Stand up to the Umpire. Eventhough it probably cost them more.
