Correct, however I fall into the group that related the term "Little League" with the division for 12 year olds on a 60' diamond unless told differently.

Thanks for the answers guys. The league is actually called the cheyenne junior league, players from 4 to 13 or so, obviously different division, this game was in the upper division. Thanks again, it is more clear now.

In LL Juniors (13-14 yo), with 1B occupied and less than 2 outs, the batter is out on the uncaught third strike, but the ball is still live. R1 can try to steal. The batter running to 1B (whether in confusion or on purpose as in a trick play) is nothing, and there is no reason to kill the play. R1 was legitimately tagged out. Had R1 instead safely advanced to 2B, that advance would have been legitimate too.

Ah, I see. I'm in the group that has VERY little direct LL experience and was not aware that was the norm. My bad!

Interestingly, especially after OP's final post... I find that in general a lot of parents who are casual followers call ANY youth baseball "Little League" and are not aware that LL is actually strongly in the minority of overall youth baseball. It seems OP falls in that category.

This is a good point. Growing up, we called the league I played in "Little League," but only informally as there was no official affiliation.

It's sort of like "Kleenex" and "Velcro."
