Base on Ball

Little League Minors division. Runner on 2nd.

If the batter takes ball four, can the runner on 2nd steal 3rd? Does it matter if the catcher catches ball four or if it is a pass ball?

Thanks

Answer your own question...

• is the ball dead on ball 4?
• If the ball is live, can't runners steal?

Sometimes, it's just that easy!!!

Bob;

I hope your answers are to Ozzie's questions and not the OP questions.

Can some one tell me which rule applies to a caught ball 4 being a dead ball and a pass ball 4 being a live ball? I called the runner back to 2nd base because it was a caught ball 4. I would like to know where the rule is in case I am challenged in the future. I have been looking for two days but can't find anything in the 2012 Little League rule book.

Thank you.
