Illegal Pitch or not?
14U PONY tournament. R on 1; P, in the middle of her windup ( REAL herky-jerky), flips the ball backwards, where it stops on the ground. I, going by where it says in the book that a 'pitch must be brought forward' declare an IP, and put R1 on 2nd. (I was on the bases, my PU is pretty much a newbie)The defensive coach accepted my explanation, and the umps there at the tournament that day seemed to agree. However, another veteran I later talked to said I should have just kept it a ball and a live ball with no IP....is he right or me? Thanks!
