Similar situation 10U ASA....
Runner on 3rd, wild pitch lodges in backstop netting.
Do you award runner home?
There have been two schools of thought in our local league. First is, the award is given from TOP. Second thought is, runner may not steal home, therefore you can't award home. My thoughts have always been make the award.
I haven't done a 10U in a long time, but the Mrs still does. This question was debated by her and her partner, and UIC gave them a ruling last night.
What Say Ye
