Rules Question and Clarification

[default]

I think I know what play Jay is referring to and what was called was a bunt/steal. The batter on the pitch squared to bunt, and for whatever reason pulled back and let a strike go by leaving her teammate and runner out to dry trying to advance to third. The batter did not turn towards third she had already squared during the pitch and as the pitch went by stayed squared stood up and pulled her bat back. As quickly as it all happened I believe that the batter maintained her position or was in the act of pulling back and standing up when the catchers throw happened and should not have been called for interference. The throw was a good one nonetheless and the runner was tagged out. I think that the end result of the play was the correct call. Strike on the batter, no batter interference, and runner tagged out and called out. The 2 umpires actually got together and discussed for a moment and came to the final call together.

Thats funny! You remember it better than me! But that does sound right. I think in the end, the right call was made.

I was more curious about the batter's responsibility in that situation.

Great job illustrating it!

Yah I remember it quite clearly because I was coaching third and I was bummed that my batter left my runner hanging out there on what I thought should been an easily buntable pitch...it did get called for a strike.

Next play was gonna be the steal home between the batters legs...HAHA!

Great call! We have been working on the same thing. Sometimes the girls forget its about getting team runs in, and not necessarily getting to base.

Nice job!

If you get that second part to work, let me know. I want to see how you do it!!
