A Tip for this weekend!
PARTY, PARTY, PARTY……. And then drink some Gatorade and eat some soup in the am because your probably be hung-over
Rules of the week:
1. Q: Overthrows – if a fielder tries to catch a kicked ball but fails, deflecting the ball into foul territory, is that an “overthrow” that restricts the runners?
A: No – Rule 10.07a defines an overthrow as “a ball thrown, kicked, or deflected into foul territory while making a defensive play toward a player or base;” – therefore a misplayed catch of a ball directly off the kicker’s foot does not qualify, since it is not a defensive play towards a player or base. Similarly, an attempted defensive play that sails into center field does not restrict the runners either, since the ball has not entered foul territory
2. Q: If the ball touches the base to which a runner is forced, is the runner out?
A: No - for a force-out to be recorded, the ball must be in the control of a fielder who is touching the base.
3. Q: When the ball is returned to the pitcher on the mound, what determines whether a runner off base may attempt to advance or must return to their last occupied base? Is there a “halfway” rule?
A: There is not a “halfway” rule, nor any rule requiring that a runner be a certain distance from their next base in order to legally proceed. However, there is a requirement that in order to advance, the runner must be in “forward motion” at the time the pitcher receives the ball on the mound (15.01). Therefore, a runner who is running may keep running, but a runner who is stopped must go back. No longer may a runner pause a step off the base and attempt a late dash once the pitcher’s back is turned. Note that, as always, any subsequent attempted play that brings the ball off the mound or out of the pitcher’s possession WILL allow any runner to resume advancing at their own risk.

Final Thoughts
With the Mid-season here, we are have about 2 quarters left of the season. 4 weeks of regular season and playoffs with the end of season. Conference wise, things look to be even. 4 weeks in and both conferences have 2 wins and 2 losses over the other. If you haven’t come out to be social, do so immediately; before you know it Fall season will be over and you’ll have to sit through Winter and wonder why and what if…. Don’t let that person be you….. See you Saturday
