Re: Huh ?

"Ok it has been awhile since I did any 10 & Under but I have to ask......When bases were loaded in the past and the BR walked or was awarded first base....did the runner that was at third just sorta....disappear?"

The current ASA rule (#8-4-H) for 10U reads:

"Runners can only score on:

a) a batted ball,

b) a base on balls or hit batter with the bases full, or,

c) on an awarded base when the ball goes:

1) out of play, or,

2) on an illegal pitch."


Specifically reading (b) above, it does say that runners can ONLY score in two situations with the bases full.

Can you think of another rule that awards the batter first base, which isn't covered here? I can think of at least one.

The proposed rule change- or, really more like a rule "re-wording"- would cover the other cicumstances where a batter being awarded first would force in run.
