Ok I read the rules about an illegal pitch, Batter gets a ball and runners advance.
Our situation. Ump opens package and tosses new ball to our pitcher who takes the new ball and rubs it in the dirt. Spins it against her thigh and delivers the pitch. Dead ball, Illegal pitch, runners on second and third advance. In a single elimination state game top of 5 tied at 0. This was the first illegal pitch this young lady has had called this year and it wasn't even the pitch but the dirt issue.
Runner on second, Batter lays down a bunt and scurries to first inside the baseline. She is making a beeline for F3. DD scoops up the ball and fires to first and hits BR in the back. Safe at first, ball careens into foul territory, runner on second scores. Coach nearly ejected as the girl is clearly inside the base line.
There are things I like about HS ball but being eliminated this way bites. We should have hit the ball better to not be in that position but we were. Ok, I've vented and now on to TB.
