Confused runner and umpires

[DTQ_Blue]

Scott,

Runner didn't leave her base. She never touched it during her return from beating out the throw. Looked like she was returning but walked right past first on her way to the dugout.

I would attribute runners action to lack of game smarts typical of many on the team. This is a program in its 3rd year that is fielding a team that most JV teams would easily beat. I don't believe they have won a game yet.

I can see part of the problem. Last year's coach knew nothing about the game. This year's is another story. Today she embarrased a girl who had made 2 errors in an inning by nastily yanking her off the field in substituting for her in mid-inning.
