Comments about ‘4A high school softball championship: Tooele takes title’

Congrats to both teams!!! Spanish, way to fight!!! YOU GIRLS ROCK!!!

Great tournaments for all. If you weren't at the game, watch the final catch of Tooele-Spanish Fork on ksl.com. That was just incredible!

Congrats Tooele for a great championship and to Spanish for being a class act.

what a game. I have never seen that much heart by 2 teams. Both fighting until the bitter end. Congrats to both teams. Great jobs by the two coaching staffs. Both teams lost majority of last years starters and both are very young. One common theme of this entire championship was the extremely poor umpiring. The plate umpire in the 4a game was horrible. The strikezone was nonexistent in the last 2 innings. Great job to all the girls and coaches.

4for4, guess they wanted to keep it consistent for how bad the umpiring was during the season. Phantom pulls at first base, obvious wrong calls on throws to first, missed obstructions with a fielder on the base as the runner rounds, 50/50 pitches (first one in that spot is a strike, second one in exact same spot is a ball) not watching runners tagging on flies and not seeing girls miss bases as they run, called strikes at the visor, called strikes that bounce before they get to the catcher. One ump told both teams in a game that the pitcher had to maintain contact with the rubber until the ball was released. He wasn't going to call it that day since it was preseason, but they were illegal, he said.

At least it was usually bad both ways.

Congrats to Tooele. Wow, Brooke, nice job. Keep hanging in there.
