Wait... You Were Leading, But You Still Lost...???

((HT: KREX-TV))

Jack McDowell's Ogden Raptors were in Grand Junction to play the Rockies and the game was all Raptors- even through the rain drops.

But, in McDowell's mind, the field was getting unplayable and he was ready to take his team off to wait out any kind of rain delay. Problem was, at some point, if McDowell didn't put his team back on the field, they were going to forfeit.

No one broke that news to McDowell and it ended up being a forfeit and a 9-0 win for Grand Junction.
McDowell is less than pleased about that and is planning on contacting the league office about the result awarded by the umps.

Here's the highlights until the time of the forfeit

Rookie League Scrum!!! Rookie League Scrum!!!

((HT: MiLB.com))

This one happened in the rookie leagues- Pioneer to be precise with Ogden and Idaho Falls.

The game itself went 16 innings with Idaho Falls winning 9-8, but this happened top 10th and the managers even got involved...

Oh, the Ogden manager is former White Sox pitcher Jack McDowell...


Yes, we know...

Some zooming in would have been nice...
