At a baseball Tournament in Redmond, OR

I have seen 2 games so far.  My Grandson Sky is playing in his first big tournament this year.  He is really looking like a ball player.  He is the Number 4 hitter in the line up Power Hitter Position.  He has been catching fly balls very well.  The other teams are finding out it is wise to hit to other positions. 

The Umpire in this last game was sketchy at best.  He was calling high balls as strikes (for our team only) in the first two innings.  The rest of the game our team was swinging at high balls.  It was crazy.
There were tag outs and our team was called OUT while but the other team were safe with similar calls.  At the end of the game, our team was coming back and looking strong and our runner was called out even though it was a late tag.   There were a couple of comments that it was a 'bad call.'  THE UMP CALLED THE PARENTS ASSHOLES in front of the kids.  Earlier in the game, a boy on the other team was called strike 3 and the parents complained so he said foul tic.  It was not a foul tic. 

Sky plays again in an hour.  I hope his team has a different umpire.  The other team plays in a higher league but Sky's team actually played better, more consistant ball.
