Hi , I appreciate any help with understanding how this play would be recorded with scorekeeper .
My daughter plays HS softball and has only been slapping for her second year . Can anyone clear up a scorekeeping question for me ? She hits a dribble towards 3rd and because she is really fast the 3rd baseman fields the ball clean but makes a bad throw to 1st base trying to hurry the paly . My question is the slapper beat out both overthrown balls before they got to 1st base . I believe both touched the 1st baseman's glove as they jumped up to try and catch it . Is this a clear rule/call or a judgment by the scorekeeper ? This has happened several times and twice in the same game the other day with a parent scorekeeper not recording any as hits . I understand a slapper's average will suffer with creating so many infield errors so anything helps .
Thanks in advance for any help !
