My understanding is (or used to be) the same as Steve's regarding LL. When I did LL Softball, the rules were slightly different from ASA and NFHS in some technical situations like can a player overrun first on a walk or can they back up toward home plate to avoid a tag. Those rules seemed to be consistant with BB rules, like the roots of the rules were in BB philosophy.
I have never done Pony and have not done LL in a quite a while. I don't know if that is still true, or if there are differences in the pitching regulations in this situation.
