Ball slips from pitcher's hand
Fishing around about a question on another board and tripped over this. Just never noticed the ramifications of this change:
USA Softball
Rule 6A.3
P. If the ball slips from the pitcher's hand during the delivery
1. The ball remains live
2. A ball on the batter
3. Runners may advance at their own risk
If the batter attempts to hit such a ball, how are you going to call a strike or fair when the rule book specifically has declared the pitch a ball?
Was there an interpretation or amendment I missed?
