I remember having to make such a call in an ASA league Slo-pitch
playoff game back north. I did it by the ASA mechanics "book" and
when the end result was the final out for the losing team, the
"manager/coach" went ballistic. He was an ex college level baseball player and could not understand that the ASA had such a mechanic.
Stuff like that ceratinly does cause softball umpires problems with the uninformed players and fans.
