I don't move (still have my arm up) and everyone (!) leaves the field.
After most of the kids were in the dugout, I pulled the opposing coaches aside and explained how the infield fly rule works and that there were only two outs. I got blank stares (gotta love this level of LL). After explaining the rule to them, offensive coach asked if he can put his runners back out on the bases.
My ruling was that since everyone had vacated the field, the play is over and, subsequently, that half-inning is over.
Did I make the right ruling?
Thanks! |
Did F6 catch the infield fly or did it fall? If F6 caught it, well, you screwed the pooch. If not, then there would only be two outs.
Sounds like you screwed the pooch.
