This occurred in an AFA Championship game Sunday. (ASA rules should be same.) 18U
Bases juiced, 1 out, 2 & 2 count on the batter. She swings, ball hits dirt, catcher
delays, umpires states "strike 3", then catcher throws the ball towards 1B. Ball ends up in
RF, with runner from 3rd scoring. Runner from 2B comes in also. Misses the plate, umpire
signals nothing, runner that had just scored from 3B, picks runner that was on 2B up,
and moves her to HP. Runner is called safe by PU, time is then called.
At this point, what would your call have been. (Yes, there is more to the story,
however, would like to hear reactions to the above events first.
