Well, I brought up baseball, but not to discuss the gross versus near miss discussion. Rather, I just find it strange that a relatively straightforward concept—may a runner correct a missed base by...

Perhaps, but that assumes the runner would take that shortcut, retouch first, and then still have the wherewithal to turn back again and make it to second safely.

Yeah, that case play does leave a lot to be desired, but it does appear that USA Softball doesn't believe in the concept.

I did find a case play in the "Ask Dee" document for NCAA play that seems...

"Last Time By" in Softball

I'm curious which softball organizations recognize the "last time by" concept that I learned over in that other sport when I umpired there. Here's an example:

R1 on first base. She takes off for...

Well, if the bases were loaded, then the out at second base removes the force from R2. So her out for being the closest to home would be a timing play, not a force play.

The penalty is that runners return to their bases at the time of interference, but the BR is placed on first base safely. You don’t return the BR to the plate to bat if she was still short of first...

Perhaps. But now there's precedence.

Of course, NCAA also changed the LBE violation a couple of years ago to a delayed-dead ball to allow the defense to take the option of the play if it's to...

This is the exact verbiage that was in the older rule book under 6-A-11 for Dropped Ball. For whatever reason, USA decided to delete that rule and put the language under 6-A-3P instead.

That's the gist of this discussion; you won't find this in the USA manual because they don't approve of the BU moving into foul territory to begin with.

Arrrgh!! Why didn't they put that A.R. in the book under 12.2.12?? Or at the very least, mention to take a look at 12.19.1.2 under 12.2.12?

NCAA is the same:



Where I think the confusion lies is with "that other sport". Over there, a third strike that deflects off the catcher or umpire and then touches the BR is not interference...

I'm in violent agreement. The one that I hear most often about the PU and second base is the Leaving Base Early violation. Yes, that's the BU's responsibility. No, the PU shouldn't mess with it if...

Yeah, sorry for the mix-up. I thought we were talking about a chasing BU, not the PU. I concur that the PU should always verbalize, mostly to let his/her partner(s) know.
