Past weekend in ASA game, runners on 1st and 2nd, no outs. Pitcher starts and finishes pitch, illegal pitch is called before release by home plate ump. Field umps calls runner on 2nd out for leaving before release.
After conference and questions by both coaches, verdict was runner on 2nd Out. Runner on 1st advances to 2nd. Ball on the batter.
My question, the illegal pitch is a delayed dead ball, which came 1st, How does leaving the base early come into play? I'm thinking that the runner is awarded to advance without liability anyway. How can they be called out?
Thanks for any insight...
