Is that like "when you're retired, you're retired"?

(Couldn't help thinking that after looking at your picture!)

The rule in itself is absolutely stupid. Anybody (coach or player) that respects the game doesn't even challenge in that situation. A homerun (over-the-fence) is a HOMERUN!!!!! Take your loss and call the right pitch next time.
Why have to run the bases on an over-the-fence homerun anyway? No play can be made on the batter.
We just look to complicate things.

Coaches, especially at that level, get paid to know the rules. Using the rules to the advantage of your team is nothing more than good coaching. It's not cheap or unfair, just good coaching. Anyone who thinks differently must not be a coach. I would do it in a second, if I were presented with a situation like that.

statman ray,

It was later ruled that she did not have to rely on the other team, there were other options and the umpires on the field made the wrong call by not allowing her a sub. BUT the story would not have been as good that way.

the rules for over the fence homeruns should be just like the slow pitch rule: Batter/runner needs only to touch first base...
