HHH,

A couple of years ago the NFSHS tried to institute a rule that would forbid the catcher from throwing the ball down to third or first (to go around the horn) after a strike out.

The Illinois Rules Interpreters and Clinicians had a field day with it. The rule never made it and was abandoned before the season began.


Mary Struckhoff was on the IHSA staff for a long time and (now the Officials guru with NFSHS) still has many good contacts here in Illinois. I think she trusts the judgement of a select few and protects them to the end.
