A base on balls is no different than a base hit Umpire ruled incorrectly in your situation. It is up to the defensive team to stop her If the runner makes a motion back to first base then continues to second she should be called out if the ball is in the circle.
Thanks Coach H. I was almost certain that the umpire had made the wrong call, but I couldn't find anything certain about it in the rule book when I checked. Just so no one gets the wrong idea, judging by my listed coacht "location," this was not a Knoxville association official. It was an official from the Jefferson association. Certainly don't want to give the official's name here, but maybe I should give Arnaz Cantrell, the assigning officer, a call to let him know which official needs to learn from this mistake!
By the way But, based on the way you described the situation, I believe the umpire missed the call. Good luck the rest of your season. Tball - My understanding of the rule is the same as yours. However, IMO there's another common misinterpretation of the rule.
My daughter was recently called out in a Jr. High game for rounding first on a walk and then returning to first. The umpire maintained that once she rounded first toward second that she couldn't return to first base. Am I wrong or did he blow the call? Yes he blew the call If your DD did infact did round first base then imediatly return to first base with no re-attempt to advance to second base.
Example- Batter walks Base runner is "SAFE" in this situation since the pitcher made an action to throw her out during the attempt. Bottom line is once the defensive team begins an attempt to get the base runner out all the technicalities are over it's just a game of pickle from then.
But the base runner had better not change her mind about going to second once she has decided to go back to first or she is "out" Unless the pitcher tries to throw her out at first Also, the pitcher does not even have to actually throw the ball I hope this clear's all that up for you! Once she touches first base, the only restrictions on her continuing to second base are the ones found under the Look Back Rule rule T. Generally, there is no rule against a batter receiving a walk and continuing right around first to second base- or, even further if she can make it!
The exception to the rule up until next year is for the age 10U recreational class B divisions. Players in this division may not advance beyond first base on a walk.
Next year, the base running restrictions for this division will be removed from the rule book. Players in this division will use the same base running rules as all the other age groups. So, as of January 1, all players playing under ASA rules will legally be allowed to advance beyond first base on a walk. One more possible exception: Even if you are playing under ASA rules, no league or tournament is bound by those rules unless the tournament is a national qualifier.
If it's not a qualifier, any rule in the book may be ignored, changed or modified as the tournament director or league sees fit. It is possible that whichever games you're playing under have written their own rule that prevents taking an extra base on a walk.
You would have to check with your league or tournament administrators to see if that is the case. Whichever rules are being used should be made known to all participants before the game even starts.
Everybody should be on the same page so that the right rule can be uniformly enforced. PS to cshilt: The rule you noted is another one that applies that I had overlooked! Re: Continuous walk rule The biggest problem with this is what is the rule that if the pitcher has the ball in the circle and rises her arm as making attemp on the runner and the runner stops is there any rule that she must go back to first base and can not change again.
It's a long rule, taking up almost an entire page in the rule book! The runner stops. This is to take away the batter's opportunity to hit a home run or another powerful hit that would drive the base runners home. When a batter who draws a walk advances to first base and there is already a runner on first base, that runner is pushed to second base. If there is a runner on second base, he must advance to third base , and so on.
If a batter draws a walk when the bases are loaded each base is occupied by a base runner , all the runners must advance: including the runner at third base, who advances to home plate and scores. This does not happen very often, but it does happen! When do you have to run in baseball? Previous Next.
