Ya know I saw this Last week once I wasn't sure what game it was but I'll be damned the batter leaned into the pitch.
The NCAA blues didn't award the base due to not avoiding the pitch.
I did a 12U Tourney this last weekend and sure enough I had the same girl in my last game do the same thing twice. Coach was hopping mad on the second pitch but the batter just stood there bent her knees and took one of those floater change ups (almost looks like a flat slow pitch ball) right off the thigh.
Batter both times started to trot to first but I called her back and told her she at least has to make an attempt to get out the way.
The coach acually had the nerve to tell me that the batter does not have to attempt get out of the way, and wanted to get the rule book out. I got the game underway and the UIC came down with the ASA rule book while we were underway and read the rule directly to the coach standing the the dougout.
