Patrick,
Where did you find that a live ball appeal can be
made without a tag?? According to the 8-2Pen.
new
A live ball appeal may be may by a coach, or
any defensive player with the ball in his possession
by tagging runner or touching the base, that was
missed or left too early.
A dead ball appeal may be made by coach, or
any defensive play with or without the ball by
verbally stating the the runner missed base or
left too soon
The fact is, this rule is going to take place,
as JJ found out from NFHS when he querried them.
Might as well review and prepare. It was really
not a big deal in softball. Just have to remember
when you see missed base or left too soon on fly,
dont call until
appealed, [wanted] dead or
alive. [grin]
