Speaking of not calling illegal pitches.....

[Dutch Alex]

Last weekend I was working on a field where also youth-games can be played. A brand new diamond that was just opened. For those youth-games the pitcher-plate can be mounted in some iron-work hidden under the gravel.

In the second half of 1st inn. the visiting pitcher dugout so much gravel in front of her plate that this iron has come out. It was real dangerous. I had to stop the game for over 30 min., so the groundcrew could remove the iron-work and fill the hole.

The irony of it all was that in april (during a practise tournament) already somebody of that club told his board that this could happen. Apparently nothing was done. Lucky for them it happened now; in august there will be the two European Cup tournaments held on that complex...

Ain't leaping allowed yet in your league? It's this year in the ISF-rules that leaping is ok, crow hopping still not. So in a view weeks on the WorldCup in Caracas, leaping will not be called!
