officiating screws akron again...

Just got back from the akron softball game and the officiating ended up screwing akron again. The base runner from akron was coming home from 3rd an ball state made ther throw. IMO the base runner was safe, and the umpire even signaled safe, the akron girl gets up from the ground an the ball state player tags her an he then calls her out. That was the game changing point of the game. it would have given akron another run, but instead it gave them their 3rd out. The next horrible officiating call came when the Ball State base runner was coming from 2nd base to third, the akron defender threw the ball to 3rd an tagged the girl before she hit the bag, and the official called her safe. I was sitting behind the guy video taping the game for ball state, and he turned around an said wow, she got away with that one. and then after the game...he rewinded the video on his camcorder, and showed the replay of the official making the safe signal on the play at home, the official stated that he didnt signal safe at any period of time, but the video CLEARLY showed his making the safe call..... ONCE AGAIN, IT IS AKRON AGAINST THE OFFICIATING!!!!!! I hope that the officiating for the football season isnt as bad as it has been for the sports this year!

not really. the akron base runner was on first and stole 2nd and she hit the bag and the umpire had a bad angel because of the position of the ball state player, so he called her out. There were a few other calls also, but that is the one that stuck out in my head because it was so obvious she was safe.
