A reader outlines a four umpire crew dispute at West Chester East during a Senior League playoff game. Sun Oil argues the ruling stemmed from miscommunication over an appeal play. Williamsport officials later indicated no appeal was needed, yet the final run stood. The letter criticizes the umpires and district administrator, claiming Sun Oil was unfairly eliminated.
