Apparently in Hawaii, as you guessed. A quick google showed both Castle and Kailua to be HS in Hawaii. This is what I found!

I was in HI while this was being played. My brother in law was in the hospital so he and his room mate had to watch HS softball & not a college bowl game - I could move around - they were bed ridden - I had the "clicker."

The catch was not the most controversial part of the play. It was after the "catch" was called a "hit." R1 on 1st base headed back to 1st base thinking it was a catch - as - you guessed it - BR was rounding 1st toward 2nd and NO ONE could tell if the BR had passed R1 - that is why BR & R1 were so close together rounding the bases.

What amazed me was that the defensive did not challenege any of the rulings. My because it was pouring down rain most of the game. The game did go into extra innings - but the nurse came into the room & I had to leave & I have no idea who won.

I'm new to the board - where is spell check????????????

He is absolutely correct! If you notice it's #5 batting and watch them as they round the bases - she's the first runner to touch 2nd. Looks like you have 2 umpires watching the ball and none watching the batter-runner.

We usually provide that service free of charge. If we can't find something in your post to ridicule you - we then look at your spelling.

Larry, go back and look at the video. It is number 8 that is batting not number 5. They are running the bases correctly. You have to look closely but #8 is for sure batting. Dave

The runners rounded the bases correctly - but at the point with R1 going back to 1st & BR rounding 1st heading to 2nd - no one could tell IF the BR had past R1 for an instant.

It was a GREAT catch. It was a good hit.

I have a catch. Possession as she hits the fence.
