Third base coverage
Two umpires... Which umpire has third base when runners are on 1st & 2nd?

Depends.
If there are less than 2 outs, batter hits a deep fly and the runners tag up, the PU will take a play on the R2 at 3B. Otherwise the BU has all plays at 3B. JM |

My fault... If there is a ball hit to SS and force play at third.

Well, the plate umpire called safe and base umpire signaled out. Just was curious whose call this was supposed to be... Thanks.

if the ball doesn't leave the infield, the BU always has the first play unless it's at the plate.

In Illinois, at least, the IHSA wants you in B for all plays if I recall correctly this year.

treydawg,
Where on earth did you get that idea? From the 2-man POE doc posted on the IHSA officials website: Quote:

I don't see that as a disadvantage, but many times an advantage. Coaches are the only ones who complain that the umpire was too far away to make the call. Thanks David |
