Loves to watch slappers in action!
Here is the play in a USSSA tournament . . .
Runner on First and Third (ahead by 1 run with 2 outs), batter shows bunt and pulls the First baseman and Third baseman in. Batter pulls back and hits a hard grounder at the First baseman, who has crept in, and it goes between her legs and under her glove (untouched). The ball hits the runner from First-to-Second's foot. Home Plate umpire calls the runner out. Second Base umpire overrules him and says it is a live ball because the First baseman made a play on the ball even though she didn't touch it. (The cruddy thing about all of it . . . the right fielder had dashed in, grabbed the ball and threw it to the Second Baseman who covered First and got the out before the batter got there but the Home Plate umpire was not watching since he was calling the First-to-Second runner out) They called both girls safe and the girl at Third scored . . . tie ballgame. *ugh*
