TRI UNITED PROTEST TECHNICAL LOSE TO PENTICON
It was a bad day for the Boys and defense was looking really horrible with the exception of Ben Fleightman who has shown great improvement over the years.
The score was 9 -3 in favor of the TU squad when an unusal incident turned the whole game into a fiasco. Getting into a run down , Jeff Mor , trying to get back to 3rd ran into 3rd baseman David Aron and as according to what was said threw his elbow into the chest of Aron , injurying him . As it sometimes happens in our League , umpires are not always available and this time Jeff Perry assigned Bob Kessler to umpire this game. We all know this is not such a healthy situation but that's what we have to live with . Umpire Kessler ousted Mor for unsportmanlike conduct leaving the TU team with only 8 players thus a forfeit was declared. The TU captain lodged a protest of the game on the basis of misinterpretation of the rules. In the opinion of the editor , i don't give TU much of chance on their protest as in my view it is a subjective point of view on behalf of the Umpire. But you never know, the Protest committee will have an answer very soon and this case will be resolved and the Teams can go on from there.
Final Score : 7-0 (pending)
