NEW Slowpitch Rule

[bkbjones]

Just when you think you have heard and seen it all at the ol' ballyard. All the stuff with the play doesn't really pertain, but here it is for you who are very anal:

ASA Co-ed slowpitch.

Man, batting lefty, hits a fair ball just back of third. The sliced ball is spinning like a top on steroids. It is headed toward out of play when SS fields it...then takes two steps and steps out of play.

I kill it and make the awards.

So...SS comes running toward me.

"Blue! Blue! You can't call that catch and carry."

"Sure I can."

"But...but...(now get ready)

The ball is spinning like that and there's barely a chance I can get to it, but I hustle and get to it and take two steps and then go out of play. There's NO WAY you can call that a catch and carry!"

So...add that to the list of new rules.
