Says the score keeper from our opponents team tonight in 8u dixie baseball. (Guess who won).
Here are the plays in question:
2 outs and a kid hits a rocket to right. Fastest kid in the league btw. Rounds first hard heading to second and the first baseman backs into him trying to get out of the way causing a hard collision with the defense laying on the runner (about 4 feet off 1b). Runner gets up after defense gets off him, he is disoriented but starts to second but by now the ball is in the cut offs hand in shallow right. He's ordered back and rf throws a prayer to first and he's tagged out.
I'll take your opinions on what should have happened on that.
Very next batter i throw an inside pitch almost hitting on of my kids. Then two straight swinging strikes. The score keeper on other team yelling that's strike three and we're cheating. I say that's just 2. She's hollering complaining and such. I pitch on...boom... kid hits a bomb to the fence. So glorious. Now we're really big cheaters i guess.
Same inning, 9th batter comes up. Our rule is that when you get it back to pitching circle the play is dead or any force out there inning is over. I verified that's how we're playing it. I mentionedto the coach that if the runner is more that halfway when the force out is made the run counts. Their coach said idk about that rule but reluctantly agreed. Then our kid hits it through the infield and he runs to second and 2bman stands on the bag causing him to slow down. Then he keeps going to third because he had run until an out made. Apparently, with my back turned, they get it to pitcher but he runs off the mound and tags my kid. Their coach sees me after the inning and says hey i thought we agreed that ball in the mound would kill the play. I said i was just running my kids until it was dead. I didn't see the pitcher had the ball at one point before running after my kid.
