I have been tasked to use ISCORE for our Fall/Spring 12U B team this coming season, so I was practicing while watching my other DDs 14U Non comp team play this weekend. I assume USSA rules, but it is just a local league here in Colorado.
Runner on 3B. 2 outs. Batter has full count on her. My daughter pitching throws a wild one that gets past the catcher, obvious 4th Ball.
Batter starts to jog down to first base, but does not touch it because of what happens next...
3B Runner tries to steal home, but catcher recovers ball, throws it to pitcher covering home (my daughter), Pitcher tags runner out for 3rd out.
Teams switch and normal play resumes until 3rd out and we are back on the field playing defense. Same batter as before, the one that took 4 balls, comes up to bat again. I don't actually realize it at first until after she gets a hit and is now on base and I go walking over to talk to the Coach. Coach calls time and asks why the same batter as the one that ended the inning is batting. Umpire states since the batter did not touch first base on her walk, her AB was not complete??
The only reason I bring up ISCORE is that of course that got all messed up because now the batters were messed up from a half inning previous and at the time did not know how to bring the same batter up again. But besides that, is this correct?? I would have thought as soon as the batter received her 4th ball, no matter where she walks to, her AB is complete.
Thanks
