Went to watch a local high school game this evening. Saw a play and wanted to get clarification...
Girl on 2nd base. Batter hits a ground ball towards center field, second base player stops ball and immediately throws ball back to pitcher in the circle. The girl on 2nd advances to 3rd base and holds. The batter ran through 1st (did not round bag). The girl then jogs straight back to first base but about a step from 1st immediately runs to 2nd base. The pitcher was in the circle and made no attempt to make any play. My question is this: can the runner on 1st advance to 2nd base? The umps let her advance to 2nd base, opposing team discussed with umps but would not overturn.
