38 year old rookie ump this year (what's the record for oldest rookie ump? I'm sure I don't approach it). Looking forward to learning as much as I can from y'all.
Anyway, in one of my very first games (10U rec, FP) out here in the land of Aah-nold the Govenaytah, I had the following sitch:
R1 on 3B, R2 on 1B. One out. Gotta passed ball. R1 heads for home. Rule 8-4-H: R1 can't go home but is at risk. Coaches know it, scream for her to get back. She beelines for 2B w/o touching 3B. When R1 gets to 2B, R2 from 1B rounds 2B passing her. I call R2 out for passing R1 (rule 8-7-D). At this point, I believe I cannot call R1 out unless defense appeals (rule 8-7-G) so I leave her on 2B.
How did I do?
