He didnt want to remove her, which is why he swapped her out with another P, who threw one pitch and then put her back in, which I did not think was legal, but umpires let it go, said there was no such rule prohibiting him from doing that.
On another note (same game) we were tied, bottom of what could potentially be the last inning if we score because time had expired, we had 2nd and 3rd with either 1 out or nobody out, and they wanted to intentionally walk batter to set up force at home, umpire allowed the verbal pass vs throwing pitches, but again different associations, etc Im not 100% on that one. Again it was USSSA
