asa ruling

[GOS0170]

The way I handled mine was fairly simple. When the batter came to the plate he asked how much time was left. I told him (it was about 1 minute) and then warned him "don't do it or I will forfeit the game". He was a veteran player and knew what I was talking about. When he stepped on the plate and hit the ball all I did was call "ball game". He agrued and I gave the rule number. The next week he told me he never realized that rule was there. Haven't had a problem with this since. Enjoy.
