Question
Guest Mark
Looking for clarification on an incident in a USSSA fastpitch game. Game tied in the bottom of the 7th, bases loaded and no outs. Batter hits a ground ball to first. Fielder goes home for the force. The batter thinking that the first baseman touched first, returns to the dugout. The pitcher now has the ball in the circle when the first base coach yells for the girl to get back to first base. The girl runs off of the bench when the pitcher, not sure what is happening, throws the ball to first. The girl on third breaks for home and is safe, game over. The question, is the ball live if the runner runs out of the dugout to return to the base? The umpire just stood there like a big lump having no clue what to do.

IN baseball, the ball remains live and the BR is out for abandonment (or desertion). Run scores. Game over. Everyone gets ice cream.
