I'd answer, but to be honest, there are a LOT of cases in which USSSA has a "well, you know what we meant" approach towards writing their rules. I've had one hell of a time getting straight, rule-based interpretations from them.

Not trying to mock the association, but... well... Yeah, it is what it is.

In ASA, a ball striking the on-deck batter would be considered a blocked ball. If it did not interfere with the defense's ability to make a play on the runner, the ball just becomes dead. If it did interfere, then the ball is dead and the runner being played upon is out.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
