Cape League Games

Our First Place Western Division Braves got sweet revenge last night when they beat Eastern Division first place Y-D Red Sox 2-1 in a classic battle.
Previously Y-D had beaten us by a called balk in the bottom of the 6th with 2 outs and darkness approaching. After a pick off attempt to first and a quick throw to the plate to nail the runner for the third out,( which would have ended the game with the two first place teams in a 5 to 5 tie ) the first base umpire calls a balk on the move to first and allows the winning run to score and then calls the game due to darkness. Once again a classic battle who's outcome was not decided by the players but by an official thinking he was bigger than the moment.
What do you think about this years umpiring collection ?
