Had a girl run to first on BALL TWO (no strikes) last night when it got away. They made a play on her that went into right field, 2 runners scored. I'm sure there was no intent by the batter, as she was truly embarrassed when I called her back, announcing the count 2-0.

I've had similar situations and i know of a coach who has done this on purpose to get runs on the error. As an ump I state the count often.. I'm not a silent ump - I consider that about the best I can do to keep people aware of the count - if they throw to 1b on strike two; its on them.
