NFHS illegal pitch, no option given
I always thought that in NFHS as well as in other sanctioning bodies, that if an illegal pitch was hit and all base runners advanced at least 1 base, there was no option given to the coach to take the play or the penalty for the illegal pitch. I found in the rule book that says if the batter hits the ball, fair or foul or obtains first base, no option is given. I can't find any mention of other runners advancing at least 1 base for no option to be given. The case book gives a conflicting ruling also. Can I get some help here with rule references? Thanks, Dave
