When it was a game …
July 24, 2009 by Mike CasazzaNo, it’s not WVU-related, but it is a sad and sadly irresistible tale about Little League baseball.
Bridgeport, the District 5 champion, thought it had taken a 7-5 lead in the top of the sixth inning on a two-out, two-run home run over the left-center field fence by Elijah Drummond.
It was the boy’s first homer ever, Marra said.
Instead, Drummond was called out after the ball went over the fence. A base umpire declared there had been a case of “assisting the runner” and the homer was nullified.
