Thank you for your explanations! To give a little context, I umpired high school and Legion ball for eight years before giving it up four years ago. I decided to go to law school, and I'm out here in Kansas where there's not as much baseball very close, so I decided to do the local 12 year old youth league games here in town rather than travel.
The one thing I've noticed is how much more often I have to go to the rule book because....weird things happen when the kids are this age.
So, to respond to whomever said this was a "third world" question, yeah--sometimes you get those at this age, I guess. So you can say it's slim and none that this play would happen, but when kids are just learning to play and the plays aren't as crisp as they are at higher levels, you see stuff like this.
