    What if a runner is injured by a defensive player between bases & can't continue?

    An incident in a slowpitch tournament this weekend brought this up, so I don't know if rules are different. Hopefully someone with more knowledge of slow pitch rules can answer that. (My dd normally plays fast pitch, but got invited to play in an adult slow pitch coed tourney) One of her...

    Extras bases on dead ball question

    In a U14 tournament game this weekend, the pitcher threw a wild pitch with a runner on second. The runner stole thrid but before the catcher could get to the ball it rolled into the dugout entrance. The runner stopped on third and made no attempt to steal home. The umpire called dead ball and...
