We screwed this one up.....
Teebob and I worked a Jr College DH today. NCAA rules
R1 on second, R2 on first no outs.
I am PU. Teebob is BU.
Sinking line drive hit to F4, ball hits ground and short hops into F4's glove, I am emphatically pointing toward the ground to indicate I do not have a catch, but no verbal.
F4 throws to F3 at first to retire batter-runner, F3 throws to F6 at second and BU signals an out, thinking that we have a caught fly ball and an appeal of R1 leaving second early. Both teams start to leave the field. I immediately call TIME and we get together. I ask if he had a catch on the slinking line drive, he tells me No, I saw your signal and I don't have a catch either.
Any suggestions on how to fix this or what we could have done differently?
