Bases loaded, 2 out, 4 runs in, 5 run limit. Batter (F9) draws a BB, runs toward first, sees the run score, tells R1 to get her glove and literally jumps over first base on the way to RF. PU sees this, BU had already turned to head to RF. Only PU and defensive head coach noticed the miss. Defensive coach tells her pitcher to stop just before she crosses the foul line, has her go get the ball and appeal at 1st.
No run.
Defensive team ended up winning in 4 innings 20-19 (the run wiped off here being the only time a team didn't hit the 5 run limit).
