OK,

I know this is the softball board. However, I have a LL baseball
question and I don't and have not had a LL BB Rule Book in awhile.
During the game the other nite when the 1B Umpire threw the red flag
when runner on 1St
left early, I suddenly again remembered another reason I am calling strictly softball.
I know the list of what could happened in certain situations on
the leaving early, is probably fairly lengthly but what if batter hits
homer and runner left early. Is there no penalty?
Can't really see penaltizing the batter, cause he merely hit the ball.
Would the runner's [the one on 1st] run have counted? BB needs to
simplify that rule, and call the kid out, just like it is done in
the real game. Help me out here guys...Getting a lot of heat from
my granddaughter for not knowing the rule, when "after all PaPa you are
an umpire.

BTW Bob [bluezebra] be gentle, I know its a dumb question, but I gotta know.
