ASA Overthrows
Can an ASA umpire out there tell me were in the ASA Softball rules is there a statement. That on an overthrows you get 1 base on an overthrow from the infield and 2 bases from the outfield. The only statement I could find was 2 bases are awarded for any overthrow. Please give me the rule number if the original statement is true 1 infield - 2 outfield.

The rule is two bases from the last base touched at the time of the throw. Does not matter if it is from the infield or outfield. Now if it is not a thrown ball and a fielder drops the ball and it roll into dead ball territory it is one base from the last base touched at the time of the dead ball. Like in FP if a pitched ball goes into dead ball territory it is one base.

"Two from the outfield, one from the infield" ranks with "one plus one" as a top myth in awarding bases. But I still hear it several times a year.
Even in OBR, this is a myth. The award is two bases from last base legally touched no matter who throws the ball, with the exception of (1) first play by an infielder, where it's 2 bases from TOP, and (2) a throw by F1 in contact with the rubber, where it's 1 base from LBLT.
