ASA: The Illegal Pitch (IP) is a Delayed Dead Ball (DDB). R1's Crash against F6 is Interference. R2's Crash/Interference causes the Ball to become Dead immediately. R1 is out because of the Interference and is ejected because of the Crash, and B2 is awarded 1B on a Fielder's Choice. But since F1's IP to B2 is a DDB, and R1 did not advance at least one base, the Offense has the option of taking the IP Penalty which is R1 is ejected, R1's out is recinded, R1's substitute is placed on 2B, and a Ball is awarded to B2.

NFHS and NCAA: The ruling is the same as ASA with one exception. If the Offense takes the IP Penalty, R1's substitute is awarded 3B.

MTD, Sr.

Why are you placing R1's sub back on 2nd?? With an accepted IP, isn't that runner awarded a base in ASA, just as in NFHS and NCAA??
