Question
Guest Roger in Ohio
Last night during our Ohio High School Varsity baseball game, on a fly ball to the outfield the runner at third left early. Our coach called time, approached the base umpire and appealed (dead ball appeal) that the player left early. The base umpire called the runner safe because he was watching second. The plate umpire said nothing. After the game, the plate umpire told our coach that he say the player leave early but because the coach did not specifically ask him, he could not call the runner out. Is this correct? The coach very clearly appealed the play, he just did not verbally direct the appeal to the plate umpire.
