This is very sad.

The Madison Mallards are a collegiate summer league baseball team based in Madison, WI. On Sunday, July 9, three umpires including Conor McKenzie were traveling to Madison to officiate the game when their car got in a wreck. McKenzie died and the other two are reported in stable condition.

The game has been rescheduled to August 1. During their July 10 game against the Wausaw Woodchucks a moment of silence will honor McKenzie.

No further information is available.

1. I watched two collegiate games this week, (New England). The umps are just normal guys that help

these kids play. I feel terrible for them and their families. I hope the teams and the league pay them their proper respect.
