Here's the Sitch:

4th inning, Visitors-0 / Home-2, Visitors at bat.
Little Jonny is deep in the box. Too deep but the line has been obscured.
Called time, drew him a line, advised him to stay in or on it but NOT outside of it or I would have to call him out should he contact the ball.

No problem, Jonny adjusts ok.

FF to top of 6th inning, Visitors-0 / Home-4, 2 out and here comes Jonny. I have Ball 1 & 1K F2 and I notice Jonnys back foot is too far back. He's so far back the catcher has to move out of his dig so as not to Interfere.

Called time, drew the line again and re-advise him of where to be.
Immediate next pitch, his back foot is OBVIOUSLY well over the line and he fouls it.

3rd out. Batters Foot Outside Of The Box, Game Over.

Rat shouts "Oh your NOT gonna end the game on THAT call are you?"
Me: "I tried to help the kid with a line twice but he chose to ignore it."
He: "You were looking for it."
Me: "Yep, good night Charlie."


Q: How would you have handled it differently?

"Hard not to look for it coach, since he kept pushing us up against the backstop!"
