Runner on second and flyball hit to right center. The runner tags and advances to third with a catch.
Who is responsible for watching the runner if he leaves early or not?
Tonight this happened and we felt he left too soon. We appealed and took the ball to second base and stepped on the bag.
Field ump and plate ump both looked at the other and pointed and then both held up hands in the universal "I don't know" palms up gesture. It was almost liked they worked on it to get it that perfect that neither one knew and was passing the buck to the other.
In flyball situations who watches the leave early part?
