BTW, 8.7.L?

Mike,

I was just using 8.7.L. to illustrate that
when ASA had exceptions that was the normal
manner in which they illistrated it. I
realize that it [8.7.L.], has no
bearing on our discussion.

Thanks for the information also on ASA case book.

You can probably order a case book at http://www.softball.org/

Click on ASA Online Store, then Publications. The 2001 version is the latest.

Found it, ordered it, and thanks.

Lets change this a little...Runner on 1B--1 out,
batter strikes out, catcher muffs ball..groping
around for ball, see BR going towards apparently
first base. ( However, 12-15 feet down line BR veers off
and goes towards her dugout area)
catchers seeing BR moving towards 1B fires in general
direction, ball ends up in RF, runner on 1B advances
to 2B. Do we have anything, and if so, what?

Now this is the perfect example of the cause for the exception provided in 8.8.P for those umpires who confused a retired batter for a retired runner.

I cannot find this addressed anywhere else in the rule book, clinic guide or casebook.

As I said above, this BR is covered by 8-8P. Perhaps she was trying to draw the throw, perhaps not -maybe she just realized she was out anyway so she gave it up. In either case 8-8P says she is not guilty of interference by trying to draw the throw. [/B]

Yes, I know, I agreed with you. But that still has no bearing on the original scenario as the throw was not going to 1B.
