Mike,

2 MAN MECHANICS


The PLATE UMPIRE, if there are two runners on base and the next batter hits for extra bases which will score the lead runner without a play, the PLATE UMPIRE pays little attention (to the lead runner) other than noting that the runner touched third base and the plate. The BASE UMPIRE meanwhile ascertains that all runners touch second and first bases and takes whatever play is made on the batter-runner

Slow pitch Mechanics

The PLATE umpire takes all plays at 3RD except

1.BU takes BR into 3rd

2. If there is a close play at home then a play at 3rd the BU should make the call at 3rd

pg232 ASA rule book 2001

To me this sound exactly what I have described as the mechanics in the above situation. Tell me what you are seeing different
