So Rock, I don't know what rules you were playing under but in NFHS rules, using the exact wording of Rumble's directive, a "balk" can be called without runners on base.

After all this . . . I would ignore that activity with no one on.

Regards,
Tim, I had assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that since HS ball is over in at least 45 states, the poster was speaking of OBR.

Despite the fact that Brad's poor writing of 1995 has not been specifically corrected in a subsequent Newletter, neither has it made it to the case book or rule book. Illegal pitch remains the correct term for his balk with no runners on, at least according the NFHS people I've spoken with.
