2014 in Gainesville for a tournament my daughter's UNCW team was playing. Also in the tournament was the school she formally coached at, Charleston Southern. She had recruited and developed the CSU starting P, a Florida girl who still holds the school strikeout record there. They faced the Gators on the final Sunday. Going into the fifth inning CSU was leading 3-0. The CSU girl had a nasty change and UF hitters were flummoxed. She was shutting out the premier team in her home state; a dream come true. Admittedly, she was always borderline legal (that leaping thing) but it had not been call weekend. In the fifth Walton began jawing the 3B ump. In the sixth he called 6 or the girl's first 8 pitches illegal. One can only imagine the conversation went something like "If you ever want to work here again . . . " . Obviously, she had to be lifted and CSU lost in extra innings. In the seventh I had made my way to aisle beside the UF dugout. As Walton left the field I called his name and yelled "you should be ashamed of yourself". His response for all to hear was "I'll beat your fu....ing a$$". No doubt he could since I'm giving away 25 years and 40 pounds. I just stood there staring until he entered the dugout. The really comical part was as I ascended the stairs back to the concourse a 'security person' older man said I'm going to have to issue you a "yellow card". It was a conduct warning. I asked him if profanity was allowed in the stadium and he said no. I told him the card needed to go to his coach. ** Edited by MidloHokie at 5/25/2026, 3:56:31 PM
