But remember, as KJ said, in NCAA play, that once she step on the PP and brings her hands together, she only has 5 seconds to deliver the pitch.

Thanks for all the help. I was PU and called an illegal pitch on her. Turns out it WAS an illegal pitch, just not because of the reason I thought. While her hands were together and she was waiting for the catcher, way more than 5 seconds elapsed. Dave
