Illegal Pitch with Runner Advancing more than one base
Has anyone received the OFFICIAL interpretation from the NFHS?
In my opinion, there is no choice given since the ball was not hit and the batter did not become a baserunner. I would rule a ball on the batter and award R1 second base only (ie. put her back on 2nd if she was either safe or thrown at at 3rd).
Our state (Va) high school asst. director for softball stated that whatever happens past 2nd base would stand (safe/out at 3rd) but I don't see a rule or casebook play that supports that ruling.
Please provide the official NFHS interpretation.
