The pleasing part was the conduct of both sides, usually close games bring out the worst in players and spectators, it was a great game to umpire and be a part of, always a great sign of sportsmanship when every player from the losing side still shakes your hand and comments on the umpiring for the day.
Was a great game to watch and besides very briefly talking to you earlier in the morning i didn't know you were out there. The other umpire was also barely noticeable which is strange for him. Lots of kids in both sides helps with playing in great spirits. Glad the underdog won just a pity the underdog didnt even get close in the main game!
