No wonder nobody said a peep- some coaches are dumb, but they aren't usually that dumb!

The batter hit the ball. This is a force unless the ball was caught for an out, then the force is off.

with the ball in hand...the defensive player could touch 2B with their hand, foot, head, ear, knee, hip, shoulder, whatever...chalk it up to experience, you missed it...they probaby didn't say anything for 1. They don't know the rules either or 2. The kids are 12
