What would you ruling be called?

[Christopher F Cheney]

This is under babe ruth fast pitch softball rules (12u)

runner on third the count is 2-2 the batter runs to first (with 2-2 count) runner on third scores. now what would you rule this?
I told runner from home that scored to go back to third and batter finish up her bat.

Where was the ball?

Sounds like a stolen base to me

 

[Christopher F Cheney]

catcher had the ball the batter had no right to go to first base. I talk to my uic and i got the ruling from him.
edit: catcher or pitcher i can't remember i believe it was catcher.

I call that an awesomly sneaky runner on third. If no tag was applied it is called a run. Might even put down E 1-6 just to be fair. If I was 3b coach and you told my runner to return to third, I may have needed to be tranquilized

you would get a nice early sleep. I told my uic what happen he said i made the correct ruling the fact of the matter is when the batter ran to first for no reason is why it was confusing.

So you are protecting the defense from being stupid when they should know what the count is? This is no different than the catcher throwing to 1st base on a dropped third strike when 1st is occupied with less than 2 outs. Dumb move catcher, all action stands.

No fact of the matter the batter had no right to go to first base period. No reason at all. second its called a trick play in my view and not approve in my point of view it was wrong. That like the pitcher can decadence the runner

So you are going to rule any trick play illegal and disallow it?

there are diffrence between a trick legal play and illegal play.

K, show me a rule that says this is an illegal play. And not because your UIC said so.
