Yesterday, my high school game was a lopsided 16-1, in favor of the home team, in the bottom of the fourth. Our run rule is 10 after 5.

Before they batted, the home team coach comes over to me and says, "I don't want to be out here all day. Some of my runners just might be leaving base a little bit early".

All I said was, "I just might see it".

They get the first three or four batters on base and score another run. No leaving early runners I could detect up to that point. Then, with runners on the corners, the runner on first seems to come off the bag right before the pitch is released. It wasn't a gross violation, but still looked a bit early to me.

I kill the play and bang the runner out. They make the other outs by having all of their hitters bunt.

As he's walking back to the dugout, home coach tells me, "That wasn't one of the runners we were trying to have leave early!".

All I said was, "Coach...you asked for it".
