This is my first time ever setting up a blog. I have been accepted to umpire at the East Region 11/12 year old tournament in Bristol CT. I want to share my experience with anyone that is interested. Being a volunteer umpire can be very rewarding in many ways. Follow me on my road to Bristol.

LL All Stars 7/2/11
Was not scheduled to Umpire until Monday 7/4, But today, after working all morning, I rushed right to Colby Field and got there just as they were introducing the players for the 9/10's Laconia vs Belmont. I was at second base today. In a four man system 2nd base will go out to the outfield and call catch or no catch and other 3 umpires will rotate to cover bases. Worked with two guys that this is there first year doing tournaments. Had one play that we had 2 sets of eyes at home. Just so happened it was the other veteran umpire that got caught watching the ball. Oh well happens to the best. Game only went 4 innings due to 10 run rule. Name of the game was pitching and Laconia had a very solid pitcher on the mound today. Day off from umpiring tomorrow. Next post after 11/12 game in Belmont.
