I did tell them to get in the box. Sorry, I did not put that in my original post.
Our association, acting on instruction from the State said that we are supposed to enforce the rule. So, I enforced the rule. Since this was a scrimmage, I enforced it very strictly in the hopes that it will not be necessary to enforce it later in the season.
Your use of the term "last resort" is odd. It is our only resort. The batter either gets in there or not.
