bases loaded ... here's the pitch, catcher returns ball to pitcher, but R1 on 1st steals 2nd ... R2 already on 2nd and stays there, so for 2-3 seconds there are 2 girls on 2nd base and everyone is confused (not the blue of course!) ... R1 heads back to first, pitcher throws to first (safe) ... now R3 on 3rd is released & goes home, safe .......... so, R1 is back on 1st, R2 still on 2nd -------- and thats what we have. defensive team coach comes out & wants an out for 2 girls occupying one base at the same time, but we tell him he has to make a play. He don't like it .........
Now, if R1 would have stayed on 2nd, & the pitcher did not make a play, I kill the play after giving R1 3-4 seconds (a reasonable amount of time - judgement) to figure out what she did & go back. she can go back and it does not violate the look back rule because she is allowed one stop. but if she stays then we call her out.
comments please - did we handle this correctly ??? by the way it was 10U ... thanks.
