I'm surprised that the NFHS hasn't adopted the MLB protocol for putting a runner on 2B in extra inning games.  

 

For @lawump, has there been any discussion to changing this?

None that I am aware of during the last 8 years.

(Sorry for the slow reply.  Ruptured my appendix while traveling over the holidays.  Better it happen then than during baseball season.  LOL.)

Urgh, I unfortunately enforced this rule incorrectly when I was first starting   At the time, I was working 3 different rule-sets and hadn't fully contemplated all the differences.  I was working NFHS 'JBO' (Oregon specific 14u/12u/10u league following NFHS rules + mods)  rules, OBR 'tourney' rules, and an NFHS-based 'tourney' rules.  Both of the tourney rules did the 2nd base runner in extras.

However, I was in the "JBO" game, which was my 1 league that didn't have it, but I was convinced at the time that it was an NFHS rule.  We went to extras, which is rare thanks to the time limit, and I put a runner on 2nd. One of the parents was upset about it, but I told him to quiet down.  After I got home I looked it up and realized I screwed it up, so I've been ashamed of it since 😕

Where was your partner (or was it solo)?

You've done your penance and suffered long enough brother. It's ok to let it go.

Solo of course I'm not sure I'll ever be able to let it go/forgive myself.  But thanks !

Starting this year, we're using a time limit for the below varsity games that we cover.
