Everyone Stopped!

[UmpireErnie]

Had somewhat similar play in JV high school game this year.

R1 on 3B. 2 out. Batter hits down 3B line just fair. R1 off for home with hit. F5 make great play on ball followed by horrible throw to F2, ball goes to backstop. R1 comes in and scores.

Meanwhile batter (now a BR) has picked up her bat and returns to batters box.

I leave my mask off and take a position in foul ground on 1B line extended and wait. My partner and I make eye contact and kinda grin at each other as apparently we are the only two who realize what's going on.

After a few seconds offense coach in 3B box says "What's up blue?" I turn and say "Your batter hit a fair ball and I'm waiting for the play to be over."

Defense suddenly gets clue and throws to 1B for third out. I turn and say "That's three, prior run does NOT score".
