Bree is usually very stoic in the circle. Happy to see her
get animated after striking out the last batter. Pure joy!

She's got Appomattox bragging rights after outpitching Layne and...
striking out Hacket. A lot of talent from that little school.

Frustration coming put from being squeezed
Umpiring is a tough job. The only thing everyone wants is consistency. An 0-0 pitch should be called the same as a 3-2 pitch, for both teams. And, the ever shrinking strike zone hurts both the pitcher and batters. Pitchers for obvious reasons and the batter waits on perfect pitches and loses aggressiveness early in the count.

The Sunday umpire squeezed our pitchers on strike three more than once.

I believe the umpire's position affects his calls. These umps positioned
themselves to the right for lefthanded batters and to the left for righthanded batters thus not getting a good look at pitches on the outside. Whatever happened to positioning themselves directly behind the catcher?

I thought the same but he did it again for UVA right after
I thought that. He was getting bad there at one point. Umps have a tough job but can make it really hard on players when they are up and down and all around.
