Help with a Sitch..
R1 @ 3B;
BR is walked; As BR jogs to 1B, R1 steps off 3B a few feet; Ball is returned to the pitcher in the circle; Without stopping, BR rounds 1B and jogs to 2B; R1 just stands there, a few feet off 3B; F1 doesn't do anything .. just stands there in the circle; BR rounds 2B and starts to jog toward 3B; F1 still just stands there and watches; R1 hasn't moved an inch; BR stops just short of 3B, looks at F1, and realizing F1 isn't going to fall for it, starts to jog back to 2B; R1 remains just where she is, still a few feet off of 3B; BR gets to 2B and stops; R1 then returns to 3B with a couple of seconds. Everything is okay in this situation .. right? No LBR violation by R1 because the ball is live as long as the BR was in motion around the bases, during the brief time she is stopped between 2B and 3B and while she is returning to 2B. Once BR is stopped at 2B, R1 must quickly make up her mind what she is going to do. In this case she returned to 3B, but she could have also gone home. I'm umpiring my first post rec. league tourney this weekend and I'm trying to think of situations that might occur and come to the proper rulings. |
