Earlier today I had an interesting situation. 3-1 count on batter, R1 on 2B. As pitch comes in, inside of the zone, batter sticks her leg out and gets hit by the pitch. I call 'Dead ball, Stay in the box'. I look at my indicator and then realize, sheepishly, that it is ball 4 and send the runner to first base. The defensive coach goes crazy, telling me that the batter got hit on purpose. I explain the situation and the coach tells repeats herself over and over again. Finally it dawns on her and she then says, in her best Gilda Radner impression " Never mind.' It took a second fro the fans to catch on but the game ended and all was fine.
