While in Tennessee at NSA B World Series I saw a 12u girl hit a ball over a 12' high 210' fence and it was still going. This girl was so excited she hit it that far that she nearly missed first base. Her first base coach called her back and pointed for her to step on the bag and then she proceeded to run all the bases for her homerun.
Here's the interesting part. The coach of the opposing team appealed the umpire's call of a homerun stating that this was "a ground rule double" ???? huh??? I did say that she hit it OVER the fence....when that didn't work he tried to say the first base coach "grabbed her and pulled her back to the bag"....the umpire refused to change his call (which was right to begin with) and gave her the homerun.
Now, if I'm a coach and a 12-year-old girl hits a ball that good against my team - I don't care if you run the bases WITH her and hold her hand....all I'm going to say is NICE HIT!!!! Just thought this was a funny story.
