Our local assn works a local youth league [NON LL] in which there are three divisions: 10U,12U, 13-up.On a Saturday we will work all three divisions by ourselves..yes a long day! ANYWAY I am working the final game of the day with the Sr division-Its top 7, and the home team is up by over 10 runs...[In this league an inning consists of either 3 outs OR 5 runs, whihever happens first!] Bases loaded 1 out-B hits a grounder to third, who steps on her bag for the force...the runner on third inexpicably starts down to home, so F5 throws down to the catcher, who steps on home........waiting for my out call..and waiting....and waiting..meanwhile the R is STILL off of 3rd..so Im standing there waiting...FINALLY I go out of the side of my mouth to the C: "You gotta tag her..Theres no force..." VERY quietly....C still is waiting..FINALLY their coach wakes up and yells at them to tag her..which they do & I FINALLY get to go home!!!
