NFHS Game
One last rule question, then I will let this 4-2 playoff loss go.
Can the plate umpire be asked by the offense to get help with the BU on a check swing the PU called a strike? Is he allowed to call it a ball if the BU says she didn't go? The BU allowed the offense to appeal and reversed his call from Strike to Ball. Instead of striking out, the Batter walked two pitches later and scored that inning.
Searching online it appears the PU was wrong to change the strike to a ball, but I can't find it anywhere. Does this come under the concept a strike is a judgement call and can't be appealed?
Sounds like our coach was appealing that the PU in the A position can't see to call swing/no swing on a lefty. We had a PU at another game refuse to let the defense appeal because in his judgement the BU couldn't make that determination from the C position.
We made 4 defensive errors and 3 baserunning errors, but this would have made it a 3-2 loss and changed the momentum of the game.
I was standing slightly to the left of the camera, and it looked like she broke her wrists from that angle.
