Tom,
I think without having ever seen this situation, I would
go with IP.
The runner as stated in the post was leaving at the point the ball
should have been delivered. Old BALK (Illegal Pitch). Award R1
2nd base and a ball to the batter. Puts a lot of judgement on
the umpire. Did she leave early? He could not really tell since
ball was not delivered. NFHS may rules this as "leaving early", but
at this point I cannot see that. I would think that the IP came be-
fore the leaving early.
JMHO
