Here's the situation, R1 on 2nd, 1 out, B10 up to bat. B10 flies out and both teams, thinking that this is the 3rd out, start to change sides. R1 who is the F2 on her team goes directly to home plate and starts putting on her gear which a considerate teammate has dropped there. Since R1/F2 never entered DBT, she is not out. so what do you do:
  1. if you are the BU and the PU has apparently lost track of the number of puts as well, or
  2. if you are the PU or the LU and the fact is brought to your attention by the official scorekeeper, or
  3. if you are the official scorekeeper and you seem to be the only one who knows that there are only 2 outs.

I'm going to look at my indicator, check with my partner and then see how it plays out. If no one objects, play on.

I've seen this used as a strategy to end an inning. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

Of course, all those anti-trickery folks will totally disagree with this, but there are two teams out there and if one is a bit smarter than the other, who am I to stop them
