will go down in bluejay lore
inning lasted an hour
great calls by the umpires
two very difficult calls
1 throw by catcher back to pitcher that hit batters bat allowing run to score from third
there was no intent on batter to interfere and both batter and bat were in batters box so it was not interference
2 slide by Pompey to take out catcher
catcher has more rule protection than other infielders but Pompey took him out with slide to prevent double play
play was legal
