Georgia High School - Tie Breaker Rule

[tcannizzo]

Get rid of "last batted out".

It was the player who last completed their turn at bat. Normally, this will be the batter who preceeds the leadoff batter in the current inning.

For example: R1 on 1B with 2 outs. B4 hits a ground ball to F6 who steps on 2B for the 3rd out. B4 would be placed on 2B in the next inning even though she wasn't out. B5 is the leadoff batter next inning.

Otherwise, it is mathmatically possible for the "last batted out" to be the same player who is scheduled to leadoff that inning.

In the same sitch, suppose that 10 runs had been scored in that inning and B5 had made the 2nd out of the inning. B5 had made the last batted out, and would be due up as leadoff.
