I was watching a womens NCAA fastpitch game on TV the other night and have a question about a play.
R1 on 1st.. Pitch is delivered.. catcher catches ball and tries to pick off R1 who has taken a big lead...throw is wild and rolls into the dead ball territory where the media has set up cameras and tri-pods.
Umpires award R1 2nd base.
I thought that they should have awarded her 3rd. Is the NCAA rule different than FED rule 8-4-g?

I took that as an implication that DBT had been setup for the media. That may or may not have been true. I was just quoting the rule from the rulebook. If DBT had been previously outlined in the pre-game, then I can not imagine a NCAA Ump getting the play wrong....Further, I can not imagine a NCAA Coach not coming completely unglued at a gross mis-application of the rules.

Once again, I did not see the game. I can only base my comment(s) regarding coaches/umpires on the conferences we work.

Who was playing and what conference?????
