Dear friends,
I would love some help with the dilemma that we are having. It's the opening of the 3rd inning fast pitch softball. Home is winning 14-0. While having a player at bat from the visitor team the coach of the home team makes a switch between his 1st base going to second base and his second base going to first. So no new player entered or left the game, just a switch between 2 players that already are on the rooster and in the field playing. The coach did not officially inform the umpire. After the switch a pitch is being delivered. And it is after this pitch that the coach of the visitor team tell the umpire that he will continue the game under protest because a switch between players took place without the coach of the home team officially informing the umpire.
So who can help me out with this decision can be? The game ended in the 3rd inning 15-0. Please inform!
