NCASAUmp, Congrats on the new mrs. Now get her moved in and calling games with you! You were "sorta" right. This ball (not all ball fours's) IS dead.


8-4-3-c PENALTY
The ball is dead and all runners are awarded one base only. The batter is awarded first base only on the fourth ball.

Well, she's from Argentina, so her knowledge of softball/baseball is very limited. It took me about 5 minutes to explain what a force out is to her. "Well, why does he have to leave the base?"

We Americans take much for granted.
