When my kids were involved with LL I got roped in a few times. I always told them I don't work baseball & have nothing more than a fan's undertsanding of the rules, they always smiled & said it's OK. Usually things went pretty smoothly but one game there was a funky play - on check swing the batter ran into a fielder and then contacted the ball and was hit in the back on the throw to first allowing the runner at second to score, among other things. I just kinda stood there thinking "Well geeze, look at that mess." I can't even remember what I ruled but it was obviously wrong, or so I was told by 1 of the coaches during the conference that followed at home plate.
