12 Year-Old Catcher Celebrates Win, Gets Ejected

This happened in the sixth (and last) inning of a USSSA 12U Major Super NIT pool game as the Bomberz are rallied against the Titans with runners on second and third.  With one out a new pitcher is called on to relieve. He quickly shuts down the Bomberz, striking out both batters he faces, and the Titans win the game 8-3.

The controversy follows the third strike that ends the game  The ump suddenly ejected the catcher for what he claimed was "unsportsmanlike conduct." Two Titan coaches were then thrown out of the game after expressing their opinion. The kid stands there silent, baffled by what just happened to him.

luckily the kid was allowed to return by the director of the league, who happened to be watching the game.
