To add to this ruling a little bit, another weird play happened last night. It was a dropped third situation with a runner on first and less than two outs. Drop third occurs, the batter starts running to 1st. When the runner on first saw batter/runner coming she ran for second arriving safely. The catcher throws to first to get an out that has already been recorded since it was a "dropped third-base occupied" situation. Everyone starts yelling at the girl on second base to go back to first, our team, their team, fans, our Coach says he heard the field umpire tell her to go back, which she denied at the conference afterwards. When the runner started back to first, the other Coach then instructed the pitcher to throw to first to the first baseman and apply a tag out on the runner as she arrives. It was CRAZY! The game stopped for a few minutes as we sorted the paly out. The call was, out on the dropped third and out on the tag out at first. 10-U DRIVES ME CRAZY!
