You Make The Call - Post #1

Baseball Situation:  Runners on second (R2) and third (R3).  R3 breaks for home in an attempted suicide squeeze.  As the batter (B1) attempts to bunt the pitch, the catcher (F2) touches the tip of the bat, but catches the ball before tagging R3 out sliding into home.  R2 remains at second base.  What do you call, if anything?

Welcome to the YMUA "Home Page"

Greetings!  Welcome to the new internet home for the Youngstown Metro Umpires Association (YMUA).  

This site replaces our former traditional web page located at yuma.org.  The web page will remain in place for now, but it will not be updated and soon will disappear.

The YMUA is the officiating organization that provides and trains umpires for high school softball and baseball contests played under the auspices of the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA).

The YMUA serves high schools in all of Mahoning County as well as portions of Trumbull and Columbia counties.

We invite you to browse this blog page and to contribute to the conversations that will be posted here from time to time.

If you have a comment or suggestion, please send it along to Chet Cooper.

If you are interested in becoming a high school umpire or, if you already are a qualified high school umpire and wish to join our organization, please contact John Mang.

Contact Chet Cooper if you are interested in umpiring games beyond the high school level and he will put you in touch with the appropriate individuals.
