Tie Breaker Question
Disclaimer: I am a softball guy that does USA Softball and NFHS, so that is why I am asking!
My grandson was playing in a USSSA Baseball tournament last weekend and they went to extra innings. This was 7U coaches pitch and the tie breaking procedure they used was as followed:
1) last player that will bat that inning goes to 2B
2) Start with a 1-1 count
3) Only get 3 pitches (normal rule is 5 pitches)
So my question is this correct by USSSA baseball rules? Understanding they could have has tournament specific rules but I just wondered if this was correct by "standard" rules. The first step sure, but I don't understand the 1-1 count or the reducing the number of pitches. I thought the tie breaker rule was to help teams score to remove the tie, not try to get more outs!
