So this past weekend's tournament. It had rained the day before and the field our team was supposed to play on had some puddles so they moved us to another field. Apparently this wasn't setup for our division. Top of the first - we go 3 up/3 down. Bottom of the inning, we got the first out and then they just kept getting hits. Had to take our first pitcher out. Gave up some more and by the time we got out of it - down 5-0. Then they found out the pitching plate was too close.
So our first pitcher isn't fast - she has a ton of spin. So the closer distance messed up her pitches. The other team's pitcher was just fast so it helped her out a lot.
It was just showcase but our record did matter as it determined if we played the next day.
After the first inning we outscored them and held them to just 3 more runs but not enough to win.
What's the protocol for that? Is it just you're SOL because of a mistake on the field? If this game had mattered what would have happened?
(The team we played did go on to win out in the tournament the next day - we wound up 2nd in our pool so we did play the next day but if we had beat them, it may have changed some things. The team was really good so it may not have mattered anyway)
