Well, I personally wouldn't umpire a T-Ball game. Heaven help those leagues that feel they need umpires for their T-Ball programs!
I fully understand my role out there when it comes to player injuries during a live ball. And I judged that there was nothing wrong with F4 which, as it turned out, was correct.
Also, while this was a rec league game, the two teams involved are very competitive that I've seen quite often in weekend ASA tournaments. They use this league as tune-ups for their tournament participation. The game, in toto, was better played than many high school JV games I've umpired.
But that's really not the reason why I posted this. I wanted to get an answer purely from a rules' perspective, and I got that.
