Pablo is a lie

Pablo Sanchez AKA the goat but his fielding a lie. So there was a pop fly ln the infield. He was in the middle and the ball hit off his face and Stephanie came over and the runner was SOOO SLLLOOOWWW!!!!!! And the runner on 2nd was on 3rd was fast. And Pablo knocked down Stephanie and they started fighting.and the runner on 3rd made it home and the runner on 1st made it to 2nd.and for some reason Pablo ran into Stephanie again. And the runner was going to 3rd and made it.and Pablo is on the ground.and Stephanie through the ball home to Kiesha and the ball went out of play.And I moved Pablo and Stephanie to the outfield. And my team got walked off cause of Pablo and Stephanie.P.S don’t Put Pablo at shortstop and Stephanie at 2nd
