NFHS rules, CCS playoffs, DD's team down 2 late in the game. DD at 1B. No outs.
I'll post video when available on a different thread.
Batter strikes out, infield runs into the circle, does the celebration thing. Same thing happened in a 12u rec game I umpired last Thursday, but runner on 3B. I was shocked the catcher didn't call time and ran out to celebrate. After hearing my DD's reasoning why, she didn't run to 2B, I'm glad it didn't happen in my game.
1) She wasn't sure if multiple people are in the circle and someone besides the pitcher holding ball, is LBR in affect?
2) Related, but not directly, on cut setups where 1B is hanging out in pitcher's circle, is the LBR in affect as soon as the 1B has the ball, or must it be the pitcher?
3) If the LBR was momentarily off when the players were tossing the ball around in the circle, my DD didn't want to give the umpire an excuse to call the LBR.
The ruling on these?
3B coach wasn't happy my DD didn't go.
