Do we call dead ball and award all runners 1 base at the TOP, or is this just considered "temporarily stuck" and we play on?


The proper mechanic when the ball goes out of play or in your case stuck in the backstop is to call TIME.

Most of us have got in the habbit of calling Dead ball but as mentioned the proper mechanic is to call TIME First and then make the awards.
