The ball would have easily gone into DBT. I called time and left the runners on first and third. Did I make the right call and if not what should I have done? Didn't get any flack on the call and infact the offensive manager yelled across the diamond to give his coach hell!!
While everyone else is jumping on C'monBlue for that less than intelligent remark, no one has answered your question.

By keeping the runners from advancing any farther, you have effectively penalized the offense for the offensive Rat's stupidity!

Well done!
