Tammy Tupelo: Umpire on the Rise

Tammy Tupelo: Umpire on the Rise

Posted by

Tammy Tupelo (Sammi Henderson) is a deeply committed co-ed rec league softball umpire who dreams of umping in the big leagues one day. She lives by the umpire’s oath, which she wrote, and takes her responsibility as an arbiter of sandlot justice seriously.

When league commissioner and laundromat owner FERN HAMMON (Dan Nufer) calls a meeting to tell Tammy that her colleague BUZZ EARLY (Ben Scattone) got promoted to the pros thanks to some nepotism, Tammy is crushed. She learns that life isn’t fair but refuses to give up, and decides to sell her prized grill to attend the Merrill McNally Umpire Academy, where she hopes she’ll make the connections she needs to make it to achieve her dreams.
