Drop dead has bitten our team more than once. Ready for another? You couldn’t make this stuff up:bases loaded
Drop dead time under ten minutes opposing coach slowly strolls out to the mound then slowly back. Closer to 5 minutes now. Next pitch she rolls it on the ground!! No one knew what to do..next pitch rolled again this time the batter hits it fair ump immediately throws his hands in the air “dead ball dead ball“ both coaches go crazy after long discussion ump rules drop time rule game over end of discussion never got an explanation on why he called dead ball if he allowed the pitch why couldn’t he allow the hit?
True story
Well its illegal for the pitcher to purposely roll the ball on the ground, but, it is not a dead ball if the batter hits it. That is a slow pitch rule.
