Tim.

The length from behind 2B, where many CF in LL under 11 catch fly balls, to the mound, is so short that it is very possible that control was not maintained.

No catch.

I haven't worked an 11U game in quite some time, but I'd imagine that this situation at that level would allow the fielder at least several steps after catching the ball before he reached the mound. Have you had a protest lodged for kicking this call?

So like IU, you're inconclusive to present LL U12. OK, what do you work then? It's a mystery to us on the forum.

How would you know? You haven't called baby ball in decades.
