errrr,

Not trying to cover up a "my bad", my thoughts were a pitch cannot happen without "legally engaging" (i.e. the difference between awards by F1 as to if he is in contact with the pitcher's plate or not).

The only rule book I own is stored deeply in the trunk of my car. I cannot quote rules from memory.

Actually Rich's complete review is far better than mine.

Thanks for the clarification.

ADD:

What I find is extremely funny is that my partner Wednesday night came to me as soon as he exited his car,

"Tee, I need the rule reference for awarding bases when a guy is stealing . . . Monday I awarded third only and this coach told me I was Nuts!"

So I took his current FED rule book and pointed him to page 35/36 which is the base awards tables.

"Dom, Five one one G" is the reference to start from."

We go to the plate conference and Dom brings out a little card and says to "Skippy", "Hey Ryan, it is five one one gee on that play."

Skippy says, "what play?"

Dom, "the one we had Monday!"

Skippy, "Dom you don't need prove anytihng, I assumed YOU knew the rule!"
