Double header

[Joe Kupka]

Can a player who is ejected from game 1 of a double-header play game 2?

This depends on the organization. The ASA rules and codes (as near as I can tell from a quick search of the codes) only speak about ejecting from the game being played, so for organizations following ASA rules, unless there is a local rule addressing this, I would allow the player back in the second game.

I do know that some organizations have a mandantory 1 game suspension for an ejection. Tournaments may have their own special rules, also. There may be other local variations on this idea, as well. You need to check with your league commissioner or UIC.

Generaly, Joe, this is a league issue and every league is different.

Last year, I had a player who insisted on being ejected in the final of an ASA state championship, I obliged. Her team lost and she came back and played in the IF game.

Steve,

See how smart these gals are getting. She did not want
to be on the losing end. Or did they lose the IF.

Glen,
I was amazed. It was the bottom of the 8th in a scoreless game and she stood there with 2 strikes on a borderline pitch - & got a called strike 3. She turned, said something nice, and then threw the bat. I told the coach that I needed to know who his new F5 was since this one was gone. They lost in 10 and then got blown away in the IF game. I think the team that won finished 5th at womens Major nationals. Out of a little over 300 games in 2000, that was one of 5 ejections. This year, I had 1 in 320 games - and that was in the only slow pitch tournament I did.
