I don't have access to a rulebook...I understand the officiating philosophy because I have done football for 18 years, and did basketball for 9. I'm assisting in coaching a softball team and want to make sure I'm teaching the kids the right thing.

Once the pitcher throws, or feints, the runner(s) is/are released from the commitment.
