Comments:

The bats go back to sleep and the Worms are done for the tournament. Two controversial calls cost the Worms at least 4 runs, possibly more. In the bottom of the 4th, trailing 7-0, Bubba singled to start the inning. Bronco then dribbled a ball between the pitcher, first baseman and second baseman. The first baseman fielded the ball, swiped a tag at Bubba and missed. He then threw the ball to the pitcher covering first but the pitcher missed the bag. The field umpire ruled both runners safe. When the Pirates bitched about the call, he conferred with the home plate umpire, who ruled both runners out. The next five batters reached base and the Worms scored three runs. The score was 7-3 going to the 5th inning, but should have been 7-5 at least, possibly more. In the top of the 5th, with 1 out, Tim fielded a ball behind second and threw to first for the out. The field umpired called him out, but again the Pirates bitched, the call went to the home plate umpire, and he ruled him safe. Two batters later, a sacrifice fly scored a run on what should have been the third out of the inning.
