We were playing in a game Sunday. The bases were so far in the ground that they were almost at ground level. We had a kid slide into third and was safe. She was kind of laying on the base. I asked the ump for time so she could dust herself off and he wouldn't give it to me. He just said she can just get up and do it. I asked the HP ump and he wouldn't give it to me either. She got up and was OK, but I just couldn't figure out what the issue was. I wasn't stalling as we were losing.
For the Umps out there, am I correct that if she stood up and lost contact with the base she could be charged with leaving early or look back?
