    Defacing the Ball

    It is illegal to apply any substance to the ball. It's covered more and n depth in case plays and rulings. No, the pitcher is not required to wipe the hand after touching dirt, but it is illegal to pick up dirt and apply it directly to the ball, or rub the ball around in the dirt. In those...

    Was this an illegal substitution?

    If your lineup and player movement is correct then it would appear something illegal was done. But, if 15 was brought in as the flex along with the DP playing defense what was done would appear to be legal. Without knowing the exact player movements not possible to know for sure.

    Was this an illegal substitution?

    Would need to see the lineup card and numbers to see what they did and if legal or not.

    Horrible obstruction call UCLA vs stanford

    The USA, nfhs and usssa obstruction rules are virtually identical, not sure why you think the USA obstruction rule is different.

    Dropped third strike play

    The rule and case plays have been posted several times, it is not interference.

    Dropped 3rd: Safety Base

    If the rule allows them to run in fair territory if the throw is coming from foul and they are not guilty of interference if something happens is that not essentially a flipping of the running lane regardless of if they call it that or not? And I didn't say the rule says it flips, I said...

    Dropped 3rd: Safety Base

    If a safety base is being used the running lane essentially reverses when throw is coming from foul territory. If runner is in fair territory and throw draws fielder into the batter runner it is not interference.

    Dropped 3rd: Safety Base

    Yes I would verify with your state association. They may or may not allow it as an option. I just know in our state it was not adopted and when games were played on dual use fields it is ignored. I don't remember a single school that had double bases but sometimes games were played at city...

    Dropped 3rd: Safety Base

    If your state doesn't use the safety base adoption why would it be used?

    Dropped 3rd: Safety Base

    The runner should have switched to the white base, without seeing it don't know for sure but probably should have been a violation by runner Now a question about the safety base? I realize the game you played was on a field that had a safety base, but NFHS only uses it by state adoption...

    Wristbands and Baserunners

    My daughter had 3 digit codes she used on her wristbands. Some codes were batter only, some were combo codes for batters and runners and some were runners only.

    Dropped third strike play

    Thank you, I missed that one during my research. And before the argument starts about the old rule number, the old 8-6-18 is now 8-6-16c.

    Dropped third strike play

    Closest rule interpretation I can find. Retired batter running is not in itself interference. They must actually interfere in a pick off attempt of the runner occupying 1st base. 2011 NFHS rule interpretations. SITUATION 5: R1 is on third base and R2 is on first with less than two outs. B3...

    Dropped third strike play

    Im done trying to spell it out for you, you have some type of reading comprehension problem. The last sentence of the applicable rule specifically excludes the batter runner from the rest of the rule. That entire rule entry deals with retired offensive players and the last sentence is the...
