Answer is above. I'll add this...

A little surprised that an ump of 20 years never saw this happen ... but I suppose it's possible if that ump never enjoyed some low level 10U or even 12U ball. I bet it happens once a year in most leagues at that level.

Hell, I've seen things like this in JV games this past spring. Never assume a player/coach/game participant will do what you expect.

Not only have i seen it but it happened to me. Years ago while coaching 10U rec, a ball got past the pitcher. My runner on 2B stepped off the bag, picked up the ball and handed it to the SS. SS took the ball and tagged my girl out. Easy-peasy.

Well, that cannot happen, but it just goes to show nice guys finish last.......or is that no good deed goes unpunished?

Well ... your girl wasn't out.
