Had a great playoff game last night. With a guy on 1st and 2nd and 2 outs in the bottom of 5th in a LL Majors game.
The batter hit a double and score 2, so we thought, making the score 5-4 us. The 2nd runner missed home.
The coach called timeout and told the player to go touch home and the ump called the player out. I thought the player has to call timeout after stepping off the rubber and let the ump know he is challenging that runner?
The kid that missed home went back and touched home. The ump then changed his mind and told the team to redo the challenge. The kid from the other team got back on the rubber and threw the ball to the catcher from the rubber without calling for time. To me that is a pitch.
Out?
The other team went on to score 7 runs in the top of the 6th. In the bottom of the 6th with 2 outs, we came back with 8 runs to win the game. So it didn't figure into the outcome.
