Fed JV Game - R1 & R2 on 2nd & 1st bases respectively... Batter with a count of 1 & 1... 2 outs....Next pitch a strike, which the catcher lets get by her and the batter (assumption here) thinking it was the 3rd strike takes off for 1st... Simultaneously R1 & R2 take off to steal their next bases on the loose ball. The catcher recovers the ball, fires it off to 1st and over F3's head. F4 backing her up sees no play at 1st throws to F5 to try and catch R2 at 3rd. (R1 has already got home). This ball is thrown past F5 and R2 goes home too. BR for some reason stayed at 1st.
Q1. What do you call,assuming she actually thought it was the 3rd strike?
Q2.a. What if the act was intentional, (Ooops No basketball here) deliberate? Is there any kind of interferrence here.
Q2.b. Is there any kind of unsportsmanlike play here?
