walk past first
 
today i watched a girl get walked and when she got to first(ball in the circle) she took 5 steps toward 2nd base. BU told he rto go back to first. She did, is this a violation of the CIRCLE RULE??

I believe you're asking about the Lookback Rule, not the Circle Rule (no such animal).

Did the runner actually stop at any point in time while the pitcher held the ball in the circle?

What age group are we talking about here?

It is not a violation of the look back rule (assuming she did not stop ON first base), but it is a violation of the umpire's duties.

Agreed ...unless there's some local rule about stealing.

I am wondering if this is 8U or possibly 10U with a local rule.
