Let's clarify that noone argued that Laney wasnt out-he was. But if someone can find anywhere in the book that it is classy to spike a ball at someone's head after the out, I'd love to see it. I saw it from behind hom plate and it was uncalled for. The kid made the tag and the out-enough done. That kind of arrogance shouldn't have been ignored.

Congrats to PRP on the win and even more congrats to LC for making us all very proud. You sure turned some heads in lexington!!!

I think everyone is missing my only point.

Sure the PRP player should not have spiked the ball. No one is disputing that. No one is even disputing wether or not he spiked the ball. No said it was classy.

No one is disputing wether Laney was out.

No one is disputing that the umpire should have made a call.

What remains unclear to me and others that were not at the game is:

Was the umpire in a position to make a call?

Did the umpire see the kid from PRP spike the ball?

Did the kid spike the ball in a malicious fashion or was it a heat of the moment expression of celebration and just happened to nearly hit Laney?

Exactly what kind of "fireworks" were there when "the benches cleared"? I.E. punches, chest bumps, cursing, dirt kicking, kicking, wrestling. What?????

My whole point though is that sportsmanship is about rising above the fray and not letting your emotions get the best of you on the states biggest baseball platform, and that goes for both schools.
