Question

Sorry if this has been asked before - if it was I couldnt find it!
Runner on 1st (outs dont matter)
Runner leaves early and batter hits a ground ball to SS
SS pivots and throws to 2nd base - however runner beats the throw ONLY BECASUE HE LEFT EARLY!
IF he had not left early he would never have beat the throw
In Little league it seems the umpires are forced to leave this runner on 2nd base and reward his leaving early - is that correct?

Fair = same rule both teams. Bases loaded. Batter hits a gapper. 3 runs score. Batter thrown out trying for home. Guess what. All the runners go back and no runs score. If F6 then threw

I would replace with an out. Leave it alone sub-majors. And if not an out, the OP is exactly why I don't like the rule. Why reward the offense for an illegal act.

There is a division of Little League for twelve year-olds who are ready for this. But there are lots of twelves in a recreational league who are not ready.
