Umpire takes his check and goes home!

You gotta love middle school sports! In my girls softball game today, the umpire checks his watch and calls the game in the middle of the inning. Just moments after my middle school girls team had rushed off the field for their final at bat of the game. The ump stops the game and takes away our at bat. We were the home team! He says it is a two-hour time limit. "But!"I said. "No," says the man in blue. Down 6-0 in the first inning, my girls battle back, but end up on the short end of the stick, 14-12. The ump takes his check from our athletic director, tips his hat and heads for the parking lot. My girls are now 1-1 on the season.
