Dead ball question

[Dukat]

I wish I could describe it better. The BR was not paying attention to the play at all and while not "wandering aimlessly", I thought she could have made it back into the dugout in time and or if she was paying attention could have possibly avoided the throw. With that thought we let the play finish and then got together and decided that the retired BR should have avoided the ball and had the ball not went off her leg that the play would have ended there so we put the runner back on 1st.

Now, reading through this, we may have made a mistake. Thank goodness it did not end up affecting the game as that is the last thing I would have wanted. It was a playoff game and both my partner and I were wanting to make sure to get everything right and at the time we thought we made the best call we could.

Don't know why you thought you made a mistake. If you truly thought she should have avoided it, you got it right by making her go back to 1B. No one on this message board was there but you. Sounds like to me you nailed it.
