The Vancouver, Washington Little League team was hoping to win Friday in order to play a rematch with an Oregon team, with the winner going to the Little League World Series.  Washington got runners at 2nd and 3rd with two outs in the bottom of the sixth. Their opponent from Idaho huddled in the middle of the field without calling time out.  Realizing this, Washington's Third Base coach instructed, then stepped up and nudged, his runner on Third Base to run for home to score the tying run.  Instead of elation and a possibility of winning and advancing to the next round, the coach's touching of his player was ruled illegal and the runner was called out.  As it was the third out of the inning in the bottom half of the last inning, the game ended and Idaho was declared the winner.

Clearly this calls for some rioting and torching of cars and businesses.
