HS varsity game. Score was V4-H2 beginning the top of 7th inning. Visitors get a rally going and eventually score 12 runs in their half inning -- several good hits, some lucky hits, some errors by defense -- momentum is just snowballing for visitors! Eventually both teams are looking for the 3rd out to get that half inning over. Near the end of the rally, with the bases loaded, BR hits a blooping fly ball down the right field line. F9 dives, doesn't catch the ball, her glove hits the ball and it rolls OOB and into dead ball territory. A couple runs score, BR gets to 1B, rounds the base then comes back to 1B making no attempt and showing no interest in advancing to 2nd, as though she doesn't want to add any more embarrassment to the home team. Her coach says nothing. Do you stop the game and force her to go to the base she is entitled to or let her stay on 1B? Is it mandatory that a player accept the "awarded" base?
