Also, the PU should be watching for this when possible.
At a tourney this weekend, some parents (of the local team naturally), were complaining about fielders blocking bases without the ball. Because they went to the TD (coaching elsewhere) and UIC, they never learned:
- the runners were not impeded;
- one runner misjudged and slowed down for a fielder standing past 3rd on the foul and outfield side;
- about to receive is still the rule in PONY.
Which team do you think lost?
Which team had 2 runners picked off at 2nd for third outs?
