ASA rule ?

[indianacrushers]

girl on third no outs batter walks pitcher gets the ball back and they send the batter to second once the batter rounds first the pitcher throws down to second. runner on third scores. the runner going to second sees the second basemen has the ball and gets in a run down but makes it back to first. the ump calls her out because the ball was in the circle and once they start going to a base they have to continue nomatter if the pitcher throws the ball are not. he said that is how it is in ASA. i really dont know but think he is wrong.

Umpire was wrong. Once the pitcher makes a play or appears to make a play, the look back rule is off.

Rule 8, Section 7-T. (Fast Pitch) LOOK BACK RULE.

The “Look Back” rule shall be in effect for all runners when the ball is live,
the batter-runner has touched first base or has been declared out, and the
pitcher has possession and control of the ball within the pitcher’s circle. The
pitcher is considered to be in the pitcher’s circle when both feet are on or
within the lines.

1. When a runner is legitimately off a base after a pitch or as a result
of a batter completing a turn at bat, and while the pitcher has control
of the ball within the eight foot radius of the pitcher’s plate, the
runner may stop once, but then must immediately return to the
base or attempt to advance to the next base.

2. Once the runner stops at a base for any reason, the runner will
be declared out if leaving the base.

3. Responsibilities of the batter-runner after touching first base, and
while the pitcher has control of the ball within the eight foot radius
of the pitcher’s plate. This includes a base on balls or a dropped
third strike.
a. A batter-runner who rounds first base toward second base
may stop once, but then must immediately non-stop return to
first base or attempt to advance non-stop to second base.
b. A batter-runner who over-runs first base toward right field,
turns left and immediately stops, must then return non-stop to
first base or attempt to advance non-stop to second base.
c. A batter-runner who over-runs first base toward right field,
turns left and moves directly toward second base and stops
is committed to second base and must attempt to advance
non-stop to second base.
d. A batter-runner who over-runs first base toward right field,
turns left and moves back toward the infield in any direction
except directly toward second base is committed to first base
and must return non-stop to first base.
e. A batter-runner who over-runs first base toward right field,
and turns right, is committed to first base and must return
non-stop to first base.

EFFECT - Section 7-T (1-3): The ball is dead. “No pitch” is
declared when applicable, and the runner is out. When more
than one runner is off base, if one is called out, the ball is
dead and other runners are returned to the last base touched.
One runner only may be called out.

EXCEPTION: The runner will not be declared out if
1. A play is made on any runner. A fake throw is considered a play,
2. The pitcher no longer has possession of the ball within the eight
foot radius, or
3. The pitcher releases the ball on a pitch to the batter.

Usually in this scenario the girl on third should be out for leaving the base while the pitcher has the ball in the circle. She can't leave the bag until the play is made on the other player but unfortunately the umpires very seldom watch the girl on third.
