Please someone settle this scenario for me. Little League 9-10 yr olds, a coach has his players round third and lead half way, when catcher throws ball to circle runner steals home which happens, also if the catcher throws to third same thing happens. What ends up happening and remember it's 9-10 yr olds is that the catcher holds onto the ball and they are at a stand still and the ump allows him/her a time out to throw ball back to the pitcher. The game could go on forever if the catcher continues to run the runner back to third. I say in the spirit of the game allow the timeout they are 9, but a few coaches say it isn't the rule and tough. These players wouldn't do it in the older leagues because the players will catch the ball and they would be out. What do you think? Thanks!!
