Another Illegal Pitch Thread (With Poll)

Our association chair called me last night, asking my opinion of this play. We are in sectional play, NFHS Rules. She is the "1" for the crew working this sectional, but is not umpiring this game.

Tie game, bottom of 7th inning. R1 on 3B, one out. VC comes out to the circle. V team is going to intentionally walk the batter. On the first pitch, F3 is standing in foul territory when the pitch is delivered. Apparently she does not move as the pitch is being delivered, but rather is positioned there. IP is called by PU, game is over.

There were other circumstances that preceded this play, but since I don't know for sure if they played a part I am leaving those circumstances out for now.

I am attempting to include a poll with this thread...hopefully I can figure out how to do that.

View Poll Results: What would you do as the PU?
I would not allow the pitch to occur under any circumstances.	15	51.72%
I would not allow the pitch during the regular season, but I would during playoffs.	0	0%
I would tell F3 she needs to be in fair territory, but not hold up play if she refuses to move.	3	10.34%
I would tell the HC that F3 needs to be in fair territory, but not hold up play if F3 is not moved.	0	0%
I would not say anything, but would call the infraction.	11	37.93%
Voters: 29. You may not vote on this poll
