Call her out to stay on sched.

[coach james]

Pool play game yesterday was running past time limit and the blue called my base runner on third out because she rounded the bag after the last single... he said she waffaled. Truth was he needed to fabricate an out to stay on sched. We lost 5-6. I had bases loaded with no outs!!! Ranting vent....

What is waffaling?

What is waffaling?

When off the base while the pitcher has position of the ball inside the circle and then not make a definitive move back or forward.

So, did she round, stop, and not make a definitive move either way while the pitcher had the ball in the circle?

 

[coach james]

She rounded third as the pitcher was getting the ball back from the 1B after an infield single. BR3 is three steps towards home as the pitcher enters the circle. BR3 immediately stands upward and turns back to three. HP blue says she took too long to return... less than a second to get back on the bag is too slow for him.... I believe it was a bs call to simply stay closer to the schedule.

Was it drop dead or finish the inning?

We were able to finish the inning. I believe the next batter grounded out to first and the third out came on a deep fly. the deep fly out would have been an rbi that tied the game had it been the 2nd out and not the 3rd.
