I posted this on another board also, but wanted to
post here also since have never seen some of the names
on the other post. Value their opinions also.

This is not a game situation that I have ever heard of
or had happend, just curious.

AFA Rule 10 Sec 5 d.
ASA Rule 10 Sec 7 1.
NCAA Rule 6. Sec 10. d.
NFHS Rule 5 Sec l Art. 4
LL 5.11

Rules governing putting dead ball back into play.

Play resumes when the pitcher takes her
place on the pitcher's plate with the ball in her possession
and the umpire calls/signals "play/Play ball."

Since all organizations basically cite the same
procedure for getting a ball back into play once
it becomes dead, suppose the following stitch occurs.

Foul ball that went into dead ball territory has been
returned to pitcher via fan to 3rd baseperson and to
pitcher.
Umpire that has been signalling or verbally calling
"play" on each dead ball situation, for some reason or
another does not. Batter hits next pitch to her out
of park. After celebration and all the
offensive players have returned to dugout and the
PU has given pitcher a new ball and indicated "play"'
defensive coach calls time and advises Pu she
is protesting under one of the above cited rules.
PU's what do we do??
