Thanks for all the input
I agree on the situation I decribed, don't kill it till the play ends. Thats what the ump in that situation did, I agreed with her 100%.
Now had blood been spurting from the girls nose or the ball hits her in the ehad and shes bleeding, then kill it instantly, use common sense.
Problem I've noticed this year is that common sense in regards to player safety is being overridden by the coaches desire to get one more run, or the out. If its a HS varsity game, I understand the urgency. But if its Dixie 7-8 or even 9-12, kids safety is paramount.
