Heard this from a dad at one of my son's 9-10 games. "He didn't pull the bat back soon enough on the bunt, STRIKE !" (dad's have to call the games at this level). I call time and go talk to him. Let the call stand, on my son at the plate no less. At the half inning I bring out the book and ask him to show me where it says the batter must bring the bat back by a certain time.
Two innings later I hear him say "tie goes to the runner". I wheel around and cant help laughing as I say "there are no ties in baseball".
Oh well, good thing he didn't give me the boot.
