Almost forgot this.
Same game. One of the walked batters for visitors steals 2B.
Ball is thrown into centerfield. R1 continues all the way home.
While she is standing on HP, F2 finally has the ball and tags
the runner. I call time, send R1 back to 2B.
See both home and visitors heading for the plate. Home team
coach reaches HP before visitors coach. Partner comes up and
pulls visitors coach to the side.
Home team coach: "Blue, that runner is out, she was tagged out
beyond the base she was entitled." "Wrong coach, she was tagged out
standing on the base. Therefore, she is sent back to the base she
was entitled." Coach, "I have never heard of such a rule. The is
one base, if they go beyond that base and are tagged they are out."
Please re-read the rule.
Visitor's coach standing off with partner just a grinning, asked why
I sent runner back to 2B and not 3rd? Had to go through the whole
routine again. No problem, clock was on.
