This will be my final response on this subject and promise to move on.I umpire three different softball codes,NFHS(50%),NCAA(25%),and ASA(25%)strictly fastpitch games.(I dont umpire the drunken beer bellied slugfests)We have been given a definitive interpretation of what they expect to be called in our PIAA Chapter(NFHS).I was looking for the same from the ASA,which I was attempting to get here on this forum,minus the strong opinions.I take extreme pride in my officiating and am particularly satisfied with my ability to discuss a play with a coach if approached in the proper manner.I just was in search of the proper interpretation so I could convey that to a ASA coach when asked.I know an explanation would be necessary if BR after a BOB was out of the lane and interfered with a thrown ball the fielder was attempting to receive.That is all I was looking for,a definitive interpretation.
