BOB, Place the batter

[SRW]

Who's Bob?

Situation:
Bases empty. 3-1 count. Pitch comes in low, bounces before the plate, hits the catcher's shin guard, and rolls into the dugout, out of play.

Where do you place the batter-runner? And why?

ASA rules.

NO! anything but the diddy.

I don't know BOB, but I would have B-R on 1st. If I remember correctly it is 1 base from the time of the pitch if the ball is thrown from the mound. Since the B-R was still a batter at the TOP she does not get an additional base only 1st awarded as a result of ball 4.

1st base. 1 base from the time of the pitch.

[SRW]

POE #38, last paragraph.

Just out of curiosity, where else would a pitch be thrown from?

Not a mound in a softball game.

The pitching plate?

I understand and comprehend your want and desire to stop and squelch redundancies and restatements but if there's a mound on the softball field, we might need to get the ground's crew.
