The ASA run ahead rule is clear in stating that it applies when the team behind has had AT LEAST the same number of innings as the winning team. So if the home team is losing, it cannot be run-ruled in any inning without getting the same number of innings as the visiting team. And, the run.ahead rule applies in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and any innings thereafter. Yep, in fastpitch, the run ahead rule is 15 after 3, 12 after 4, 10 after 5, 10 after 6 (also after 5) and 1 after 7 or subsequent innings. In slowpitch, 20 after 3, 15 after 4, 10 after 5, 10 after 6, 1 after 7 or more.

I've said that a time or two at the plate meeting; gets an odd look from people until the light bulb goes on!

Before I became involved in the ASA of PA, my understanding is the run ahead rule was amended to "any time after five" so the visitors could end the game in the top of the 6th (or 7th). However, that was removed (in favor of the ASA book runs ahead rule) before 1995. This may have been a time saving device when you had 50+ teams playing in districts (SP). Now we are lucky to get 6. |

Had a game with a drop-dead time limit, that allowed the game to end in a tie.
Visitors did not score. As Home was getting ready to bat, I told coach that if he did not score, game would end in a tie. Told Visitor coach same thing. Vis asks, "What if they do score?" I said, "Then the game won't end in a tie." ![]()
