Odd ASA test question

[Tru_in_Blu]

I'm working on my test without benefit of my rules book and/or umpire's manual which are currently in storage.

Slow pitch question 40) (Slow Pitch Without Stealing) A runner must return to their base after each pitch.
a. True
b. False

My initial thought is that, of course, runners must return. Then thought about the situation where the pitched ball is batted into play.

Without the benefit of my books and how this might be written in them, I'm hesitant to just say "true".

Most other questions on this year's test seem fairly straightforward. Could be a new high-water mark!

Agreed. This is one of the inherent problems with true / false test questions.

Finally got around to taking that test.

Basically a long list of "never happens" and impossible to find in the book.

I've always wondered who thinks up these questions Then again, using the word "think" may be a bit generous.
