Rec league game, runner on 3rd. Pitch comes in high and tight on the batter and catches her on forearm. I call dead ball, batter starts walking to 1st, then suddenly sprints around base and takes off for 2nd. I yell dead ball a couple of times and then just give up and watch as pitcher tries to throw out batter at 2nd as runner from 3rd runs home. I then have to explain to coach why everyone has to go back. "But we do that play all the time!"
