I had to umpire a game yesterday (a friendly round robin between 3 teams so we had to provide an ump...I umpired baseball while I was a senior in high school many years ago but never softball).
1st and 3rd situation the runner from first steals and the catcher throws the ball to the pitcher. The runner going from first to second stops while the pitcher is in the circle and almost immediately after the runner on 3rd comes off the bag and also stops (it is a new 10u team) all the while the pitcher is still in the circle.
What is the correct call?
I called the runner on first out and figuring play was dead immediately that technically the runner on 3rd should not have been out. Should the 3rd base runner have also been out?
