What would you have done?
Game tied, two outs, bottom of 7th. 14U ASA tournament. Pitcher on plate, bee starts buzzing around her. She steps back, ball in glove at this point. Bee lands on pitching plate. Pitcher with ball in hand now, slams the bee with the bll. Now readies to pitch, pitches a ball. Coach on 3rd base approaches PU and wants an illegal pitch. Foreign substance on ball. This actually happened. No, I was not involved. LOL

Would not call IP, would not have a "do-over", would inspect the ball, might change the ball, may wind up having to finish without 3B coach...would depend on him.

It would had only been a foreign substance if the Bee was from out of the Country.

I needed a good laugh today and you provided it. By the way, I agree that there is no problem with the scenario explained. Play on - and let the pitcher mind her own " beesness ".

Can't resist the opportunity for a few puns here:
No matter what you decide, it will be a honey of a call. Was it a "bee" division game? The pitcher was "bugged" and so was the coach! Did a buzz go through the crowd? I know the infield "fly" rule but not the infield "bee" rule.

In regards to the play, as most stated "play on". Exactly what they did. I figure if a 14
(maybe 13) year old gal, still wants to handle the ball after flatting a bee, so bee it.

Now all we need is Tom - Dakota, to show up with the picture of the bees.

I'd say, "Coach, read Section 15, Rule 9-B-4-C-6.2, which deals with distractions posed by insects. Plus see case book play 53.X, which deals with bee distractions specifically."
Play ball.

This hits too close to home for me. I coached a team from 1998 through 2003 called the Killer Bees. I have always been partial to bees, therefore I would have ejected the pitcher for murder.
