a. Any action by the pitcher intended to cause a reaction from the runner(s) as it pertains to the look-back rule (F.P.).

Bingo. If she's doing it to "threaten" the runner, it's a play and LBR is off. Taken to its logical extreme, we could stand there all day legally, with the runner off base, and F1 in the circle with the ball poised to throw in an epic staredown.

Luckily, around here, subvarsity games and summer ball games are on a timer. Play silly games all night long, ladies: I go home after an hour 45 for JV; less for club ball.
