The Southland Conference has suspended an umpire who ended a sport with an egregious third strike name Friday night time.
With two outs within the ninth inning, left fielder Davon Mims was on the plate with a 1-1 depend.
Mims took a pitch low within the zone that was referred to as a strike by the house plate umpire, and Mims protested the decision.
Apparently, the umpire didn’t like that his name was questioned.

On the subsequent pitch, the New Orleans pitcher threw an apparent ball down and off the plate, however the house plate umpire referred to as strike three, ending the sport.
“Oh my gosh! Wow! He bought wrung up on ball two, and the sport is over,” the announcer mentioned. “Oh my goodness. That is horrific!”
Mims spoke to the umpire — angrily — however the ump continued strolling whereas Mims needed to be held again by the opposing catcher.
The convention mentioned the unnamed umpire’s actions had been “deemed detrimental to the convention and in violation of Section 3 Character and Conduct of the CCA Mechanics Manual for Baseball.”
