Two Violations in One
Interesting scenario that our UIC presented in a NFHS rules clinic last night, and wanted to share with y'all.
R1 at third, R2 at first. F1 commits a double-touch, and PU gives the DDB signal while verbalizing "Illegal Pitch." F1 then starts her motion to deliver the ball. Before she releases the ball, R2 leaves the base early. BU sees the violation and calls, "No Pitch! Runner at first left too soon and is Out!"
What is the result of the situation?
