Multiple Runners on a base - funny
After all the stuff about multiple runners on a base yesterday, it should be natural that something would come up last night.
Working a scrimmage - very informal, 12U. No outs, R2 - VERY high pop up. BR is standing on 2nd as F4 fails to catch it about 2 steps from 2nd. R2 is still there. And apparently, R2 and BR are very bright - need to recruit them as umpires in about 6 years. F4 tags R2. Nothing from me. F4 moves to tag BR and R2 steps off the base. F4 tries to tag R2 again as she gets back on the base. Nothing. F4 moves to tag BR again, R2 steps off, F4 actually tags BR this time on her right shoulder, and seems to get it - then tries to swipe the tag at R2, who hits the deck, and ends up with her hand on the base before getting tagged. F4 tags BR again, and R2 removes her hand from the base. Just as I think F4 is going to figure out how to get an out, she gets pissed off, throws the ball straight down in frustration, hitting the back corner of 2nd base. The ball shoots out into right center. Both runs score.
