We had a strange outing this weekend.
First elimation game...1 game elimiation. 3rd inning we did something i don't ever recall seeing. Every girl on the field made an error. Every One Of Them! We allowed 5 runs that inning and yes was probably... lucking that was all. However...we were battling with the bats.
We were coming back 5-3...then there coach called time and argued that there was a run that wasn't counted when they were at bat. They were talking to the official score keeper for probably 10 minutes. When i looked at the clock it said..22 minutes. Then they started leave the score keeper box and immediately went back to him...next time i look at clock it says 20 minutes...They continued for another 10 minutes...i look at clock it said 18 minutes.
I told the ump..then our head coach told them. They didn't change it. Then our next batter...came up and it was at 17 minutes before the first pitch. There was alot of time lost during that game during that episode.
My question is...what are the time rules (this was usssa) and who is the final authority for having it right or correcting it?
