Youth softball coach & umpire get into ugly confrontation as emotions boil over at Arkansas tournament
The difference between this incident and the other crazy incidents we've seen this season is that some people say the umpire instigated the situation.The drama boiled over during the top of the fourth with Arkansas Pride 12 (13U) up to bat with a 7-2 lead on Tulsa Elite NEA (14U). After the Pride coach addressed the home plate umpire, words were exchanged between the coach and first base umpire who then got face-to-face with the coach. Does any of this matter to the point where it's worth pushing, shoving and possibly going to jail?
