We did not have an unusual number of OBS calls this weekend compared to what I've heard from the guys who worked earlier tournaments. I did notice the 1st and 2nd basemen making more of an effort to clear the bag when no pick-off throw was made. Our crew had no more than 2 or 3 warnings in 8 games.
Wyman,
Same thing tonight in the Alvin vs Lamar State game. Base
personnel stayed cleared when there was no apparent play to
be made. Only thing I had was a Lamar player taking a HBP
without attempting to move. I called "Dead Ball", delayed slightly
and said "Ball". Out of the corner of my eye I saw the Alvin
coach headed for plate waving her arms, as I called the batter
back to the box. She immediately sat down.
BTW, she did not mention a thing about any pitch. Lamar beat her
again 7-1. (guess she is over not keeping the high pitches)
