Interesting Game Note
Home Plate Umpire Bob Walsh Advised Both Teams Before The Start Of The Quarter-Final Game That He Was Working The Game Alone As No Other Umpires Were Available. Walsh Then Asked Both Head Coaches - Hughie Clarke (The Bigs) and Jeff Kirk (3 Cheers Pub Bud Light Dodgers) If They Would Entertain The Idea Of Splitting The Umpire Duties On The Bases - Clarke Would Do The Bases When 3 Cheers Pub Bud Light Dodgers Were Batting And Kirk Would Do The Bases When The Bigs Were Batting - And Both Coaches Agreed.
