It is determined that the outfielder that caught the ball has an illegal glove. The team at bat has the option of taking the result of the play or the award. 61. If the pitcher is wearing any item on his hands, wrists, or arms which may be distractive to the batter, the umpire may require the pitcher to remove them. 62. For the set position, the time of the pitch occurs the instant the pitcher, after coming to a complete and discernible stop, starts any movement with arm/s and/or leg/s that commits him to pitch. 63. The pre-game conference should begin approximately five minutes prior to the game.
8 64. A force out is a putout during which a runner who is being forced to advance is tagged out, or is put out by a fielder who holds the ball while touching the base to which the runner is forced to advance. 65. The definition of the strike-zone is the space over home plate with the top being halfway between the batter s shoulders and the waistline, and the bottom being the knees, when he assumes his natural batting stance. 66.

If a batter does not swing and is struck by a pitch, the batter automatically is awarded first base. 70. If the batter is struck by a pitch that is in the strike zone, the pitch is a strike and the batter is not awarded first base (hit-by-pitch). 71. SOFTBALL An appeal is not to be interpreted as a play or an attempted play. Successive appeals may not be made on a runner at the same base. If the defensive team on its first appeal errs, a request for a second appeal on the same runner at the same base shall not be allowed by the umpire.
9 72. SOFTBALL: With a runner on third base, the batter receives a base on balls. The runner on third breaks for home after the pitch and stops in the baseline watching the batter-runner advance to first base. As the batter-runner is advancing to first base, the ball is returned quickly to and in possession of the pitcher within the eight-foot (8 ) circle. Without hesitating the batter-runner continues on towards second base, hoping to draw a throw so her teammate can try to score. The umpire declares the runner on third base out for violation of the circle rule and returns the batter-runner to first base. 73. The batter-runner must turn to his right after over-running first base.the batter-runner may turn in any direction after overrunning first base as long as he/she returns to the base immediately. 74. If a batted ball hits the plate first it's a foul ball. 75. The batter is protected while in the box for a short period of time. After the batter has had time to react to the play he/she could be called for interference if he/she does not move out of the box and interferes with a play. 76. The ball is dead on a foul tip. 77. If the event of a foul tip, the umpire should verbalize the word foul.the ball is dead on a foul tip. 78. The batter may not switch batter's boxes after two strikes. 79. The batter who batted out of order is the person declared out? Who is called out and what is done, depends on when the appeal is made. There are three different timeframes when the appeal occurs. Place them in order a. is when the out-of-turn batter is appealed after his/her at bat is completed and a pitch is made to the next batter before the appeal (or a play is attempted or made before the appeal). In this case, no one is declared out. Once the next pitch is made to a batter after an improper batter, the batter who batted out of turn becomes what the rules call a legalized improper batter. The next batter to a legalized improper batter will be the next person up in the order after the legalized improper batter. No
10 action will be taken, in this instance, other than to assure the official scorebook is properly marked and up to date. b. is when an appeal is made while the improper better is still at the plate. In this case, the proper batter simply replaces the improper batter and resumes whatever ball/strike count the improper batter had attained. c. is an appeal after the improper batter has completed his/her turn at bat, but before the very first pitch to the next batter (or very next play or attempted play). In this case, the proper batter (the one who should have batted) is declared out and the next batter is the batter who follows the proper batter. The improper batter s at-bat is nullified and any advances made on the final pitch are nullified. In this case, the next batter may be the same exact batter who just batted improperly. Example: The first two batters of the 2nd inning are supposed to be, in order, Alvin and Bobby. Bobby bats first (improperly) and singles. The defensive team realizes that Alvin was supposed to be the first batter and appeals before the first pitch to the next batter. The umpire will declare Alvin out, because he failed to bat in turn (he was the proper batter). Bobby s single will be nullified because of a ball batted by an improper batter and Bobby will come to the plate again, because he is the next proper batter. a. A, b, c b. B, c, a c. C, a, b, 80. SOFTBALL If the batter does not pull the bat out of the strike zone while in the bunting position, it's an automatic strike. b. false 81. The batter is out if his foot touches the plate. 82. The runner must always slide when the play is close. 83. In order to correct a base running mistake (such as missing a base), the runner MUST retrace his steps and retouch the bases in reverse order (If the ball is dead and the runner has touched the next base beyond the missed base, the runner may return to touch the missed base. 84. There is a "must slide" rule. When the fielder has the ball in his/her possession and is waiting to tag the runner, the runner has two choices; slide OR attempt to get around the fielder.
11 85. The runner is always safe when hit by a batted ball while touching a base in fair territory. A runner is not out when hit by a fair batted ball while touching a base, except when hit by an infield-fly or after the ball has passed a fielder and no other fielder had a play on the ball. 86. If a batter swings and misses at a ball that bounced before reaching the plate, it shall be a strike (swinging strike). 87. The ball is always immediately dead on a balk (applies to Junior) 88. The ball must always be returned to the pitcher before an appeal can be made. 89. Runner on 1st. Grounder to short who throws the ball into the stands trying to retire R1 at 2nd. Place the runners. a. BR to 1st, R1 to 2nd b. BR to 1st, R1 to 3rd c. BR to 2nd, R1 to 3rd d. No answer 90. Runner on 1st. 1st baseman is playing behind 1st base.

No answer 91. Little League Minors/Majors only. Baseball only. Runner on 2nd. R2 leaves early. Batter hits a clean double to left field, scoring the runner. a. R2 is out b. Run scores c.

The umpire calls the batter-runner out for being out of the base line. 93. Any umpire s decision that involves the interpretation of a playing rule is not protectable by the manager and/or coach, even if the interpretation is wrong.
12 94. No balls, No strikes, 1 out. Runner on 3rd. The batter hits a ground ball to the 3rd baseman who gets R3 in a rundown. During the rundown, the catcher is taking off his mask as the ball is being thrown to him. He stops the ball with his mask, picks it up and tags R3.
