Angry Coach

Bottom of 7, scored tied. Runner on 3rd base with two outs. 0-2 count on batter. Pitcher throws her strikeout pitch in the dirt and it gets by the catcher. Ball rolls through a hole in the backstop. What do you rule?

[cpa]

Dead ball -- BR is awarded first base (if pitch is a strike -- called or swinging), runner on third is awarded home. Unless bases not touched (and a proper appeal) then game over.

I agree with above......but this question sounds too easy. Wonder what I'm missing or is he trying to make it so easy it gets confusing

Well youre probably not from Texas.

Doesn't matter what the pitch was (ball or strike - except as it might pertain to a possible appeal at 1B), it is a pitched ball out of play. R1 awarded home and the game is over.

What was the angry coach angry about?

AND if you think there is any chance at an appeal.. stand by homeplate using "touch the friggin home plate" body language.

Dont leave this one to chance.

Or, boogy off the field before an appeal can be made!

Thats the preferred method I must admit

Out of play, dead ball. Runner on 3rd is awarded home, game over.

Maybe his catcher's inability to prevent a passed ball?
Perhaps the groundskeeper's inability to prevent holes under the backstop?

Or, pitcher's inability to avoid a wild pitch in a critical situation? (Pitch in the dirt? Not likely a passed ball, unless F1's mom is the scorekeeper! )

I have finally figured it out.

You drink Gatorade after a game, and not beer.

This explains a lot about you.

Actually, wild pitch by rule (at least in baseball, I've never read the scoring section of the fast pitch rule book). A strike cannot be a passed ball.

Do what? A strike can't be a passed ball? Don't you have that backwards?
