Hurricane Play

TCB1500+ posts

Our summer coach decided to use a play I used many years ago....we called it Hurricane because Miami of Florida used it to win a World Series game in the 80's.

Pitcher picks at 3b., but holds the ball. 3b dives as if ball got past him. We actually have players in the bullpen get in on the act, yelling as if the ball got away. One of the players will often kick the fence to make it sound as if the ball got away.

A couple of umpires have said that it is an illegal play and that the Coach will be tossed if he runs it....I've been unable to find a section in the rules that would cover this.

Any ideas?
