iscore also has illegal pitch as an option. It will then ask you whether runners get to advance a base (different leagues have different rules on that.) I believe it is found under Misc>Illegal Pitch.
Thank you!

It's a balk which I think = giving a ball to the batter. I love love love aggressive base running. We've got a few girls who are very good base runners and I love to watch them. I even love to watch other teams run bases aggressively (I also love to watch them realize our catcher has an arm, haha). Our lead off was accused of leaving early this past weekend. She's our best base runner, and she was not leaving early. I watched her closely after they said that; I don't want to win by breaking the rules, even unintentionally, and if she were I'd tip off the coach to tell her to knock it off. Our girls do the pitching motion with the pitcher and try to time it so their foot is leaving the bag on release. It can look like they're leaving early but they're not.
Why is it unsportsmanlike to not throw a pitch, but not unsportsmanlike to coach your runners to leave early?
The rule is the runner can't leave the base until the ball is released, right? If the ball is not released and she is off the base...
on a typical windmill pitch, the ball is released the 2nd time it passes the hip.the ball does not have to be released the first time past the hip.
