Let's Wrap it up..................

A Tip for this weekend!
Can you feel that? It’s starting to get chilly outside…. Wear some long sleeves


Rules of the week:
Q & A - Clarification of some Rules

1. Q: Can a kicker who overruns first base be tagged out if they turn to the left?
A: An idle left turn that still brings them directly back to first base does NOT constitute an active attempt to advance per 10.06. However, even the slightest deliberate move towards second base would allow the runner to be tagged out.

2. Q: If a runner physically hinders a fielder attempting to make a play, what is the appropriate call?
A: If the Referee judges the interference to be deliberate and unsportsmanlike, this should be treated as Interference per Rule 15.02b: the play ends, the runner is out, and other runners must go back unless forced forward.

3. Q: If a kicker/runner safely overruns first base, and the ball is then overthrown, how far may that kicker/runner advance?
A: Overrunning first base is NOT equivalent to “running toward” second base (see Rule 10.07b), and therefore the kicker/runner would be limited to second base. The kicker/runner is permitted to attempt an advance to third base only if the kicker/runner had started an active attempt to reach second base (see Rule 10.06) before the ball was overthrown.
