Guys,

I will try and clear this up a bit.

The coach interferred with the offenses opportunity to attempt and get the
winning run home. We are in ITB no outs. Even if they do throw R1 out at the
plate, they still have two runners on with only 1 out and now the defense
has no opportunity for a double play. When the coach entered the field
of play, she did so between R1 and 3rd base. She not only confused R1, but in
my HMO, also her own pitcher whom for some unknown reason was watching BR going
to 1B. She had ball in circle towards 1B side and until BR reaches 1B we have
nothing. Runners can remain off base. She stated to us, my partner and I that
she "called time". I told her that we had not so therefore play was live,
I agree that my partner made an error, however, I felt also that there would
have been an attempt at scoring. She accepted my explanation of the
ruling and claimed she learned a valued lesson.

As you can see if I had put all this into one post, most of you would have
given up on it. Sorry. And I did not actually eject the coach, the game was
over. Just told her that if this had occurred during the first 7 innings, she
would have been ejected for Behavior not in accordance with fair play.

Hope this helps the confussion.
