HS tournament. All games are on the same field with PA Announcer and Music. What is the decorum for playing the national anthem? Before every game? Before just the first game of the day?
High school game. Runner on 1B, 1 out.
Batter pops the ball up just behind 1B. R1 immediately retreats back to the bag. In doing so, he collides with the first baseman who is backing up (back pedaling) to catch the ball. Because of this, the ball ends up dropping. R1 makes it to 2B, batter thrown out at first.
Time called, umpires confer with each other. They determine runner interference and rule a double play to end the inning.
I think everyone pretty much agreed that interference was the right call. But there was definitely some disagreement on the double play determination. Parents/fans/coaches lobbying that interference creates a dead ball. Runner should be out, batter should get first base.
Can someone explain the appeal of this place? It is always crazy busy. I dont understand why.
