I umpired a quarter final game in a state FP tournament Sunday. One team had an outstanding pitcher and mediocre hitting. The other team had a very good pitcher and good hitting.
Regulation ended with the score tied 1-1. It took 4 extra innings (ITB) for one of these teams to put another run across.
I actually had one case where the runner placed on 2nd base was NOT the last out! I'm fairly confident there are now at least 2 scorekeepers and 2 coaches who actually understand the rule! (At least until they have the umpire who, a few weeks ago, made both of these teams go to tie-breaker with a runner on 2nd and one out!)
