"Yes, the pitch starts once the hands are separated, so ball, no base!"
Huh? If the pitch has started, then it must be released, otherwise IP. What are you thinking, Elaine?
Lildani - I suspect that you think the ump was wrong, and you are right. The pitcher can stop before the hands separate - but must step backwards off the plate. If she stepped forward, she commited an IP. Penalty is ball and all runners advance. ASA 6.8
