I was sitting right behind Dean. Sadly, I jumped up to get the best vantage point and threw my own hands up in disgust... If I were unbiased, I would have called it a foul, but that didn't change the fact that the umpire really DID NOT see the ball hit the ground!!!

Bottom line, we weren't very good last night or today. Really impressed with the tourney Leon Landry had. He was very, very good... but some of the coaching decisions, seemed very atypical Paul Mainieri.

Oh well... here's to next season!!! It was a dream for me to see them play ball again. My heart is full. I hadn't seen a game live since I was a toddler.

GEAUX TIGERS!!!!

The ball is fair or foul depending on where it is when it crosses over the bag not where it hits the ground. And if it was on the line or almost on the line 15 feet behind the bag, when it hit the ground, based on the top/side spin on the ball, it almost certainly crossed over the bag, making it a fair ball.

My point is that the ump was looking where the ball landed but was not in position to make the call as to weather the ball was fair or foul when it crossed the bag.
