- Down 1-0 going into the seventh, Brooke Ellestad led off with a double and after Sam Roe’s infield pop, the heavy rain came. Cal’s coaching staff wanted the game delayed.
Apparently, the umpiring crew knew the rain would leave shortly - which it did - so they played on.
Cal freshman southpaw Randi Roelling threw two wild pitches to chase home Ellestad with the tying run. That immediately led to an eruption from Cal’s irate bench - leading to an ejection of an assistant coach and catcher Lagi Quiroga.
Instead of UL seizing the new-found momentum, the Cajuns failed to capitalize.
After Alexa Langeliers walked, it appeared Victoria Valdez’s bunt was misplayed, but the replay overturned the ruling to out at first base.
At that point, Roelling walked Laney Credeur and coaxed Mihyia Davis into a pop out to force extra innings. - Sport
Announcers saying "it's not really raining anymore" as we can see rain coming down ha ha
He said "it's not raining as hard as it was 60 seconds ago", he didn't say it wasn't raining at all!!
@@HannahDisponettHe said and I quote "it's not really raining anymore" before things went off the rails, do not comment if you don't know what you're talking about. Other people heard it too on the comments, so please stop!!
@@robertkessler7423don’t waste time on idiots playa
The announcer also incorrectly stated that Univ of Berkeley was in Southern California. I guess education in Louisiana is optional.
@@javtimestwo ha ha!!
This is 1,000% on the umpires. They lost control of the game and they refused to apply common sense. As a result you have coaches on the field, players on the field and the opposing team challenging the team on the field.
Why? Because the umpires refused to make a decision that the weather was negatively impacting the game and the safety of the players.
The best part is all the pomposity coming from Lousiana, when in the end California WON haha
Nice! Was the game this year? Louisiana was probably that way because it’s “wimpy” California. The umpires should have shut the game down for safety concerns. As a coach I’d have been pissed too.
Home field advantage. Just listen to the commentary.
If louisiana was pitching and up one the umps would of defiantly called the game. What little Legue crap
It may be out the Umpire's hands. I don't know how the NCAA works, but I do think the umpire's have at least some discretion and should suspend play
It’s raining. The announcer saying it’s not raining is crazy
I know. They blatantly lied.
He did say it's not raining as much
@@Jo3W3st come on, there is a curtain of rain, its clear... gonna get technical? They tried to cover it up
Heard that too. Friggin guy. 😮
@@Jo3W3st@Jo3W3st Nooo, he said: "It's really not raining at all... now"
You know since YOU are wanting to be technical and all. 😅
The smile on the assistant coaches face.. a true tóxica 😅
thought i was the only one noticed. iknow her hubby has a fun life lol
You mean wife? Lol
💯
Once the picture stated she was having trouble gripping the ball the officials should have gotten together. And especially, once the coach also tried to talk to them. They umpires escalated this. There is nothing wrong with a rain delay to make sure there is fair play. Those pictures made it clear. I have never seen such terrible pitches back to back in softball outside of a bad middle school team. Terrible umpiring.
The home plate ump must be new to D1 because it seems he tried to get the group together immediately going towards the 2nd base ump and looks like he made the decision alone. I don't understand why if after the Umps say to play (which was wrong) one of the players in outfield (umps never watch outfielders) just fake an injury ncaa softball has no time limit so this would have given the Umps more time to get together rather than feel rushed.
Hopefully at That Time a BETTER decision is made.
Sucks that any team of player would resort to that, but they NEVER should half too.
SMH.
Glad Cal Still Won.
They wanted Louisiana to win but it failed. California won lmao
It's softball theybdidnt want to be there all day
It's amazing those "pictures" didn't speak up sooner! Those "pictures" really miss me off! Damn "pictures"!!!! Wait...what? What's that you say? You mean they're called pitchers? Not "pictures"! Ohĥhh...I got ya. Pictures are what you hang on the walls!! Well...they ought to hang those damn "pictures" on the wall then! They can't grip the darn "balz". 😂
Former youth, HS, and college sports official here. My rule of thumb was simple. If a pitcher reported that he or she could not maintain a grip on the ball because of rain, we were done. The number one job of an umpire is to ensure the safety of the players. I live in SoCal so we did not the volume of rain that those in NorCal would get but we were subject to the sun setting on a regular basis. One of the questions I would always ask my catcher and batters is whether or not they could clearly see the ball during twilight hours. As an older adult my visual acuity is not on par with a teen or young adult. They still have clear vision when we don't. As soon as just one player told me they were having a hard time tracking pitches, we were done.
😢😢😢
Twilight is rough even when you're young . It can be downright scary when it's all of a sudden "there" outta nowhere .
The pitcher’s grip on the ball being compromised is actually cited in the NCAA softball rulebook, so not sure why 3 umpires couldn’t make a decision to at least halt this game.
@@Rooster2.6They must have wanted Louisiana to win. And the announcers were lying about the rain stopping.
You made it clear why Hillary didn't win that one time. Thanks
@2:01 😂😂😂 anybody seen the Louisiana player standing shivering with the bat in her hands like she really don't know what to do 😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂thank you for pointing that out😂💪🙏
bat boy
I saw lol
Not a typical scene in softball…so she probably didn’t know what to do. 😂
"Now it's not even raining." Shows batter in the box with dumping rain.
The homeplate ump was hopping around like a bunny...lol
😆
Ain't no expert, have watched college softball for many years, hundreds of games. If the pitcher or catcher cannot grip the ball to maintain control the umpire should use common sense and call the game before it gets to this point. Have lived in So Cal for many years but up north they get more than we do, it's usually sunny and warm but if you can't grip the ball it's no longer fair.
@@timothyrobinson3938Safety first bruh. One bad slip of the ball and hits the batter or the ump.
@@timothyrobinson3938 Ok
@timothyrobinson3938 I agree! These people, these athletes, are all weak modern day snowflakes! Lifes not fair and sometimes you just have to play through it!
Note how the Louisiana locals who, per the announcers, are so accustomed to the rain, have all vacated the lower seats and taken cover under the roof of the stands.
They paid their dues when they used to play
So get off ur dry high horse
As you can tell, they don’t like California in Louisiana 😂
@@jaredvilla8685
Beautiful state
Policies have made it a cesspool
That being said
Louisiana is a cesspool too
Common sense
So the cal fans just were not smart enough to do the same? I’m sure there was room for all 25 people in attendance.
Home plate umpire is a joke. Shouldnt even ump 8U
tbh smart move for causing all the commotion in order to delay the game for rain
True, you could see the Asst Coach smirking as she was leaving the field. She knew what she was doing.
Wow look at the behavior from that umpire. Why does he get the job? Actual incompetence followed up by that furious ego at the end. Wow.
absurd they didn't stop the game during the hard rain.
Bc it’s rain lol
@@Dezc887it’s still normal to stop the game for a storm. Thats what’s called a rain delay. A lot of injuries can happen from while pitch’s to slippery bases ect…
I've umpired many games in bad weather and always the concern is for the safety of the players. Hard to tell how hard it's raining on this video but, the field appears to be in good shape. Since it's the last inning, I could see trying to complete the game, especially with the home team down a run. As for the pitcher yelling she can't grip the ball, the rain falls on both teams. I don't like the coach coming out of the dugout to argue and then the plyers getting into it. Easy to see the umpires lost control quickly.
@@Dezc887guess you don’t follow most sports.
@@760649 Unless there is lightning present or the rain is so substantial that it makes playing impossible they will play on in the rain. Yesterday at LSU, I was at a baseball game where they played despite rain. They will try to avoid stopping a game in the last inning for rain.
They were bottom of the 7th with one out… he just wanted the game to be done already
The bleachers looked like the Oakland Athletics were playing. Hard to blame the guy. 😅
Southern California sir? Cmon now Berkeley is not even close bra!!
Southerner schools are a joke compared to California
Southerners aren't very sharp. Good thing they lost this game
It's not raining but it's clearly raining 😂
Why are the umps making them play in the damn rain?
There not supposed to play in rain game
@@AnthonyGreen32 they can play in the rain as long as its not lightning
@@robbsheff5982still not safe because with that much rain, the ground becomes saturated and slippery which could lead to more easy injuries.
That home plate umpire looks like he’s more escalator instead of a de-escalator! Egos like that don’t need to umpire!
So fighting over this is acceptable??
@@traviskalmoni Yes. Game should have been stopped.
Calling CAL located in Berkeley southern CA is peak stupidity
Finally!!! A bench clearing!!!
I've searched and searched for a good women's softball bench clearing. Lol
for a Pillow fight you think?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I never really thought about how hard it must be to throw a softball when it’s wet. A baseball being smaller is so much easier to grip when wer
umps created the environment honestly not wanting to do the right thing in instead try to rush the game through without care for the girls safety
Was it not raining on top of 7th? If so why????
The phenomenon of synchronization.
After the commotion, the Bears would escape the seventh inning and tack on two more runs in the top of the eighth for the final 3-1 margin. Cal finished the Louisiana Classics 4-1. Go Bears!
lol moded
No Class
@@catbreath8361 Cry more southerner
@@catbreath8361 Cope
Home ump, lost control of that game, and needs to be demoted.
Berkeley, CA gets 25" of rain a year. Not a ton, but it's not like they never see it.
Doesn't mean they play in it
@@paulzf2283lmfao right. Idiot^^ after the first passed ball the game should be called/postponed
what does that have to do with the game..... stupidest comment ever
Yet California STILL won hahahahaha
@@joeblowe3180 California was the most beautiful scenery the US had til u started shitting in it
That was a pretty packed stadium.
It's funny how the station pumped in recorded fan noise because there is no way that the dozen or so spectators were the ones making that much noise.
Bringing chaos from the street to the ballpark.
1:10 what’s with the tag at home? You damn well knew you didn’t have the ball 😂😂😂😂
If that rain was coming down early in the game, the officials would have delayed the game. Since it was the last inning, I can understand why the officials were trying to finish the game. I can see it both ways - rain delay or play on.
So they let a brief rain impact the game enough to allow Louisiana to tie and go to extras. Mission failed
A short delay to make the game fair would’ve been fine as opposed to fixing it for the Louisiana team would’ve been appropriate.
@@CalminCali Good thing California is better and won the game
Love me some Ragin Cajuns !!! My niece was Valedictorian many years ago. Now 1st grade teacher at Woodvale.
She keep using the towel like it ain't wet from the rain 😂
Tell me why
That game should have been stopped. If you can see the Rain on TV when its coming down. Terri le officiating. I'm from Louisiana so it happens when they may let them play through as long as there is no Lightning. After the forst Pitch they should have called it.
Usual suspects! This culture at its finest
During new umpire training, this should be Exhibit A in the section "What not to do as an umpire"
Umpires should had stopped the game
Was it raining in the top of the inning too? I mean, rain doesn't automatically delay the game. With it in the last inning, umps are usually going to do everything they can to finish the game. You don't often see delays in the bottom of the 9th in baseball. If there's no lighting, chances are they are gonna try to finish it. Get a the pitcher a towel and a rosin bag and get the show on the road.
what a clash of two totally different cultures that handle this situation in different ways
I grew up 40 miles from Berkeley. Absolutely fuck that place, you can see the entitlement in their actions. It’s disgusting.
I was thinking the same thing!
You mean the hillbillies in the stands who don’t care about player safety in an obviously fixed game. This shows how one “culture” (your racist undertone has been noted, while I’m sure plausible deniability will follow) is willing to stand by while they know they’re cheating someone, and the other culture is willing to stand up and fight. Turn the circumstances around and see what happens. I think you already know the ump would’ve stopped the game at the behest of his redneck brethren.
Their team is comprised of liberal progressive trash.
Yet California is the team who won the game
Not surprising the California team acts like gangsters.
And all 7 people in the crowd went crazy!
What is the purpose of this comment?
Probably to get you to respond
if it wasn’t raining there would have been more… what’s the point of this
@@teshomacalkins3257What were they chanting there at the end?
More people in the stands than all the friend you got, bud.
as soon as the ump saw that the pitcher lost control it is on them for player safety to delay the game
Love the high all gold socks with the gold belts
The soft ball is so big any water would make it exponentially more difficult to grasp
This is why my daughter is going to play Women's Hockey in college. There's no fighting in hockey.
There was no fighting in this either
No fighting in women's hockey
Or crying in baseball .
@@redfordreddington8834 ...or the NHL. It's pretty much just aggressive hugging now
@@mystreteacher there's plenty of fights
Cal coach was right.... She couldn't grip the ball..... BUT- as a crafty OLD former pitcher , you CAN make that work in your favor once it subsides.....
UL alum here when they were still USL (Southwestern Louisiana); and yeah, this was pure Cajun home cookin'. The ump crew should have stopped the game when the rain got progressively worse; but I suppose they were retaliating for what went on in the previous game, when some of the Black Cal players took to a knee during the playing of the National Anthem, inflaming the home Lady Cajun crowd. For better or worse, Cal ended up winning this particular game in extra innings. I'm a fan of the Lady Cajuns, but that was indeed bush-league. No need for that.
If the field is dry and playable, you play ball. That Cal. coach has no class. Disgraceful.
Well California won so... bothered?
Umpires should be let go. My daughter is a pitcher and I told an Ump once when he had her pitching in a downpour that if she got hurt, it was going to be me and him after the game. He stopped it.
As long as there was no lightning…we played. Wipe the ball off on your jersey or get a towel.
Really got heated in the rain
"When It Reigns It Pours!" :D
Carl Spackler: I'd keep playing. I don't think the heavy stuff's gonna come down for quite awhile.
If you have never played it heavy rain before it greatly changes the game and your ability, hence why most games are not played in the rain.
The umpires showed very poor judgement!
Thats the most exciting Softball game Ive ever seen
I said the same ! 😂😂😂
The assistant manager should be fired and banned for LIFE
It's dangerous pitching with a rain-slippery ball. Might have been a different story if Cal's pitcher, instead of missing far outside, had plunked the hitter in the ribs.
And almost no one was even there to see it🤷♂️
Meh, still more fans in the stands, then friends you have.
If it is Umpire's judgement, they should have at least suspended play
Gee I wonder which team the umps were favoring. You can see the batter coming towards the catcher as the catcher backs away. Guess who got thrown out.
Extra homework for all participants for bad behavior
Why does someone always have to hold the person back? I'd just let them go and see what happens. Probably nothing.
I didn’t even know it was raining till they said it was raining
The South... good ol boy home cookin...Always expect this especially when teams come from California. I experienced it as an athlete and in kids sports.
These guys need to stop acting like spoiled little children, and man up! Treat them like they act!
Grow up people!!!😡
Any surprise on what type went crazy?
You created a youtube page to be a prick lol clown
What do you mean Bubba?
"It's not really raining at all now" I'm sorry? It might not have been raining as hard as it was but anyone with eyes can see it is still raining pretty hard sir...🤨
Pitcher can’t grip it? Time for a new pitcher.
And exactlynwhat would that have accomplished? Pretty foolish comment on your part
Just remember...female athletes are different than males. There's one girl on each team that will forearm shiver her own mom & never even raise her heart rate.
Never turn your back ladies. Seen it multiple times.
i’m just gonna say if i was a catcher and a ump came almost running toward me with his hands up i would have been thrown out for the season bc i would have messed him up
"really not raning at all" as there is a curtain of rain... wtf, must be blind and dry in his booth.
I guess they should learn how to deal with the elements.
Umpire wild it’s pouring 😂
Who won the game?
Cal Assistant Coach coming back out merits a bigger suspension. Head coach should replace her. Made her look weak and as if she didn't have control of the team.
Cali kids arent used to the rain, Lafayette kids are. its not about UL wanting an advantage, its about home field. UL is accustom to the rain, it was at there home field, so naturally they gonna wanna play to finish the game. if it was at Cal it would of course be a different story. the thing is, the problem is why the Cal players were acting out of hand. If theres a problem, players have to let the coachs handle it. No player should be acting in a way towards the other teams player that gets them ejected.
🤦🏽♂
Yet California STILL WON lmao
California won the game still
Oh look, who is the one making the biggest scene?
Good, we need more fighting in sports. This was the norm back in the day.
The special ed headgear go crazy
EBT class ruins everything. Louisiana has class.
No need for your racism here
@@ish7957 You're the racist--assuming the EBT class is people of color. Wow.
The fact that the NCAA created rules for the Assistant HC to be booted for talking about officiating is wild. Just another example of the lack of accountability regarding officiating.
Umpire could prevented all this from happening
Bad officials always raise the tensions….
"It never rains in Southern California"? First of all, Berkeley is in the Bay Area which is Northern California, and second, it's raining in Louisiana!
Now, what would have happened if the pitcher lost the grip on the ball and it went up an in toward the batter's head instead of down and away? These umpires have a duty to make sure the game is not only played fairly, but also safely. Would the home plate ump be yelling at Louisiana's coach coming out to argue if their batter was unconscious at the plate?
Stop the game. Plain and simple. If the home crowd cries about it, oh well.
Any one know who won this game
I thought we stopped baseball and softball games due to rain, because it creates an unsafe environment? You can't grip the ball, the bat is slick, you can't see the ball, the ground creates havoc with the ball. These officials could have prevented all of this after the first slipped pitch.
Love those raging Cajuns, Lafayette Louisiana.
That's just mist in Louisiana. Play on!
Hometown broadcasters and umps that just wanted the game to be over. The umps should be looking at suspensions. What possible reason could there be for not delaying the game? Yup, dinners waiting, and this will help the home team.
The Umps didn't want to miss Happy Hour.
LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE...
That would've been a first!!
These umpires should be investigated. You can clearly see the pitch struggling with the ball. This game should’ve been delayed or postponed. And seeing something like this at the college level is unacceptable. I don’t blame Cals coaches and players for being upset they had every right to be.
Why is it every single time a fight breaks out or some violence happens, it is always the same group(s), literally always. Why is that?
