This regards 10u LL. We were playing a very close game last night. The other team's runner hit a single which our SS fielded and threw a bit high to first which made our first baseman have to leap to catch. The runner crosses first, turns left, and takes two steps towards second. She turns around to get back on the bag, but before she does, our 1B tags her in the stomach. FU calls her out. The other manager (the league VP) argues that his runner didn't make an attempt to go to second. The FU changes the call to safe. I went out to argue the call to no avail.
So, how would you define making an attempt? To me, what she did was different than running in a straight line through second and then turning a 180 to the left and heading back to the bag. This runner was completely facing second and then turned back to first.
We ended up losing the game by 1 run...
