Middle has always been open. It's pitchers who take stuff personally that cause moments like this.

i don't believe i said anything about tourneys...
point is, rec league is for fun. i suppose it depends on what else is available to play, but around here, if you want to take it serious, you don't play rec. many of the pitchers in my rec league do so because they can't play any other position. if we went middle, it's quite likely we'd be calling an ambulance every week, and 30-40% of the league would drop out due to safety concerns. truth is, there's a lot of ppl playing 3rd/1st that wouldn't be able to get out of the way if somebody was really gunning for them.
pitcher was a little ***** sure, but i'd be pissed if ppl were intentionally hitting it at our pitcher in rec as well. fortunately we have 1000 other holes in our field to hit to instead...i mean, it is rec after all

It's a friggin single wall league. WTF??? Maybe both of them shouldn't be pitching if they are that rattled by middle shots.
The ump was definitely correct in calling the game, imo.

Singlewall doesn't mean it's gently rolling at you. If it allows bats like the Steels and Nano, "singlewall" isn't even really an indicator of the performance level of the bats. If those are allowed, or the old C-Core and Z-Core bats, then the only thing being a singlewall-only league does is make it harder to solidly hit up the middle, not really decrease the velocity of one hit on the screws at your pitcher.
Granted, threatening someone after your own team has done the same is kinda a ***** move.

I think Nanoteks aren't allowed in most singlewall leagues, as far as I know.
Any "Core" bat ain't scaring me, trust me.
It also depends on the balls being hit.
Having said that, doesn't really matter what the league is. If you are bitching about hitting middle, maybe you don't have the right mentality for pitching. Just my opinion...

You can hit two more at me guys, but if you hit three I am going to be super pissed.
Stratt
to many bats
Said he wasn't thinking, just reacted to 11 guys yelling at him and saying he was about to be drilled. He had not said a word to that point.
