Question over here in the peanut gallery!
Was this ASA championship play, or was it "just" a tournament? We have rules to cover this sort of thing in our non-championship play tournaments, and this would have been legal under our usual tournament rules.
As for the Bruce Froemming wannabe, keep your rat a$$ over on the baseball board. I had to endure a couple of egomaniac wannabes the other day and asked them why in the heell they weren't calling a balk on a kid who was committing a balk on every pitch.
Their answer, I would hope half jokingly: "It's too hot to call a balk."
This was only the State Sandy Koufax Championships.

One of my outfielders did a very poor slide into second and deeply skinned up her knee. We got her sliding pad over the scrape and finished the inning. Once she sat down in the dugout it was clear that she was not going to continue in the game.
I looked at the bench, realizing no subs. I sent one of the starters out to center field and did not report the sub. I knew if we had to bat in the bottom of the 6th, I would be taking an out in the injured players spot in the line-up.
Nobody said anything, we retired the other team in the top of the sixth, game was over.
Any rule against what I did? Penalty?
