our runner on third was called out for hesitation..the pitcher had turned toward third and raised the ball from her glove with her throwing hand(which blue acknowledged). No one was covering third, my runner did not immediately return to the base, which I thought was allowed if a play was made on her(I was under the impression raising the ball was a play being made). Ump stated "there was no possible play"...? Thankfully we ended up rallying and winning a tie breaker 9-8.
Next game is play in to championship game, we're home, time expired. Bases loaded, one out, tieing run on third. Batter walks, runner from third runs home, and proceeds to dug out. Tie game. Opposing coach appeals that runner missed plate, ump calls her out. He explains that she jumped over the plate. Could she have returned to the field and touched the plate if she had not entered the dug out? Did we have any other recourse? Next batter grounded to pitcher, who threw home for the force. We lose. Pretty devastating way to go...
