My daughter is just starting as a Little League umpire.
She had an odd play, but she wanted to know what to say. I understand the rule but as an umpire what should you do?
On a passed ball the runner slid short and never touched the plate. The pitcher never tagged the runner.
My daughter feeling the runner wasn't safe or out did not make a verbal call.
That caused everyone to wonder what the call was.
She felt that that made her look indecisive & asked if she should call her safe and then call her out if appealed. That seemed logical.
