Thanks, Steve, that's perfect. I should remember to go to Arbiter for interps rather than always using the book alone.
I think game management can and should be used here. First time - if it doesn't hinder the batter, work with the catcher to let the pitcher know I need her to slow down. OR kill it, since I'd never put the ball in play. Work with the catcher again. Second+ time = IP via 10.2.
