Sorry for being terse.

Pete Booth suggested that more rats should follow Coach. Socia's example. (Of course, Pete, not being naive, also suggests that leagues should enforce this rather than waiting for spontaneous good behavior.)

Given that Socia's team lost the game and the series in question, I doubt if a certain class of rat would find the example illuminating. Enforcement might work, though.

Wonderful, he's beginning to nit pick grammar and speeling.

I apologize for my cut off post last night. I had just started it when I received a phone call from my son. I am now a "grampa!" Anyway, I thought that I had deleted my post but apparently hit the submit button by mistake. Here is the sitch. HS pre-district elimination game. Home team is up 14-0 in bottom of 3rd. Runners on 1st & 2nd. One out. Batter hits screamer at my partner in C. Ball hit him in the left heel as he bailed toward 3rd base line. Ball deflected over 2nd base into center field. I called "dead ball" and killed the play. Returned runners to TOP bases and made it a do over. This batter walked to load the bases and the next batter got the game ending hit. Did I administer it correctly? By the way, I had just read the post by Bob P. so thanks for the heads up.

No, you didn't get it right. You should have advanced forced runners one base, the BR gets first base to load the bases. The official scorer gives the batter a single.

Thank you for this 'heads up'
