NSA RULE

[fpsoftball1]

THIS IS FOR GIRLS FAST PITCH NSA @ 16U.


Runner on 3rd base. There is a walk. The ball is returned to the circle and the pitcher makes NO move to throw the ball. The runner on 3rd stays off the bag and is called out before the walked runner reaches 1st base. Can the runer on 3rd be called out prior to the walked baserunner reaching 1st base?


This is what the rule book says.... RULE:When a runner is legitimately off a base after a pitch, or as a result of abatter completing a turn at bat, with the batter/runner being out or reaching first base, and while the pitcher has the ball within the sixteen- (16) foot circle. The runner may stop once, but then mustimmediately attempt to advance to the next base or return to the last basetouched. Failure to immediately return non-stop to the base or proceednon-stop to the next base will result in the runner being declared out.
