During very cordial post game conversation I asked why he rotated and he said again that he was following NCAA manual. That's why I asked for the college guys to help. I knew he was wrong by Fed (even though he didn't think so  |
His statement is 100% incorrect in this case. If you had not gone out, it would have been 100% correct. With R1 on 1st base, 1BU doesn't begin to rotate until R1 has reached/rounded 2nd base anyway. Not sure who he thought was going to make that call...
