This one ended up okay but made me think.A runner at second and nobody out and I'm out in the hole with freshman fed. ball.The batter hits a small pop in front of the plate and the catcher touches it but doesn't catch it and scoops it up in front of the plate.It is clearly a fair ball but no one reacts all the players obviously think its a foul.My partner is only in his second year but he hasn't yelled foul and niether have I,he looks at me and mouths fair and I nod yes so he is pointing fair and the catcher throws back to the pitcher thinking strike one.The batter stands there when finally her coach yells run and she takes off while the pitcher stares at her and I call her safe at first with no throw.My question is what would we do if the pitcher went ahead and threw a pitch?Someone said the batter is out for not running but I say she never abandoned the field.Dumb coaching for sure though!
I doubt the pitcher would throw another pitch if your partner was about 10' up the 1B line pointing fair.
