And In Softball, We Are Always Saying The Runner Cannot go

If however.........the runner leaving early from 1st could have easily made it to 3rd........even without leaving early............after the BR singles..........he gets moved back to 2nd........

There lies the penalty............

Maybe Bob (or another LL umpire) could explain the "Poof" rule to us.........

This is where a runner from third who leaves early goes........."POOF" and cannot score........

"POOF"
I knew there was, or thought I knew that was a "poof" rule
involved somewhere. Thanks
