This happened today. ASA youth fastpitch. Team playing with nine. Injury occurs bringing # to eight. Playing shorthanded and preparing to take the out at bat when sub arrives and fills in. Problem avoided.
But this got me thinking. Eariler this year this scenario happened when I was doing the field and I forgot about it till now. Same situation. Playing shorthanded with 8. With 2 outs defense prepared to walk batter before automatic out and offensive coach and plate ump confered and said this was not legal. Batter can't be walked to get to the automatic out. I even remember a rule being sited. Game continued with out being skipped over. I forgot about this until today.
I've been looking all evening amd can't find anything that states this. Am I dreaming? Hallucinating? I'm sure the incident happened that way but now I can't find anything to back it up.
