Let the players decide....

How many times have we all heard that?

Saturday, NCAA DII game, I am 1BU, R1 on first, two outs.

B1 hits a hard grounder past F3, F4 has no chance to get to the ball, ball hits R1 as she is running to second.

Play happened right in front of me, I do nothing, since I don't have anything...

R1 stops running, mumbles something, and starts heading for the dugout, defense runs off the field to their dugout.

I look at my 3BU, he is shaking his head no, I didn't kill it, he says, I think (PU) did. I look down to the plate area and the coach is talking to my partner, so I make a mental note to ask him about it later. An inning later, I ask him and he says...I didn't kill it....

Technically, the third out of the inning was R1 abandoning the bases....

Works for me.....
