All defensive malicious contact results in the runner being awarded an additional base.

No out, no runners, F3 fields a ground ball, on F1's effort to cover 1st base F1's path clearly causes the batter/runner to veer to avoid a collision. F3 completes the play unassisted.

Obstruction, delayed dead ball.

Batter/runner is out, not contact occured.

Obstruction, immediate dead ball.

What is the penalty for the pitcher bringing his hand to his mouth while engaged with the pitching rubber during live ball?

Ball with no runner on, balk with a runner on.

Warning for first offense, ejection for subsequent offense.

Runner on 1st, one out. Ball hit to F4 who flips to F6 for the force on R1. R1’s late slide makes contact with F6 in the base path and eventually carries the runner well past the back edge of 2nd base.

This is not a force play slide rule violation--sliding past the base to which a runner is forced is penalized only when contact is initiated beyond the forced base. Order is important. Going beyond the base must occur prior to contact.

This is a force play slide rule violation--the runner must always avoid contact with the defense at any base to which he is forced.

This is a force play slide rule violation--the runner cannot slide past the base to which he is forced if he makes contact with the fielder. The order of occurrence is not important.

Head Coach submits lineup card listing Edwards in the 5th slot as C/DH. In the 2nd inning, Edwards doubles. Coach wants to use a courtesy runner for Edwards.

Legal--WIAA approved use of Courtesy Runner for any player who completes the previous inning defensively as pitcher or catcher.

Illegal--NFHS ruled Courtesy runner cannot be used for the DH position offensively

R1, two outs. B6’s hard batted ball gets wedged in the webbing of the glove of F6. His attempts to free the ball are unsuccessful, so he throws the entire glove to F4 in an attempt to retire R1. F4 securely possesses the glove prior to R1 reaching second base.

The glove/ball combination is treated as a live ball. R1 is out at second.

The ball is dead immediately once it is lodged. Award R1 second base and B6 first base.

The ball is dead immediately once it is lodged. Award R1 third base and B6 second base.

Which of the following situations is false regarding substitutions?

Once a player is removed from the mound as a pitcher he is no longer eligible to return to pitch.

A starting DH who is pinch hit for in the fifth inning may return to DH in the seventh.

A coach whose team is at bat cannot announce a substitution in the field until his team goes on defense.

A player who is used as a pinch runner only cannot be later used as a courtesy runner.

Head Coach of Team A comes to the plate and has listed nine players on his lineup card and has not designated anyone as a “Defensive Player/DH”. During the game, the coach approaches the Plate Umpire and informs him that Player Jones will be entering at a defensive position and Player Able will be staying in the game as DH.

Illegal substitution, the coach must list the player as a DH and position player during the lineup exchange.

Legal substitution, the coach can add the DH anytime during the game.

The Head Coach lists starter Able as both the DH and Right Fielder. During the game, player Jones reports that he is replacing Able as both the DH and the right fielder.

Improper substitution as stated. However, Jones entering on offense can end the role of the DH and the team can now play with a nine-person lineup with Jones in place of Able.

Proper substitution as stated. Jones can replace Able in both spots.

Improper substitution as stated. Jones can only enter as the DH and not as the defensive player.

Player R1 tangles with F6 on a slide at 2nd base. During the untangle, R1 directs profanity at F6. BU rules this an unsporting act but deems the action minor in nature and benches the player for the remainder of the contest rather than eject him.

Benching is authorized for coaches only, not players. The player must be ejected, and a conduct report filed. Any removal of a player from a contest constitutes an ejection.

Since the umpire judged the offense to be minor in nature, benching is warranted. No conduct report is to be filed.

On his lineup card at the start of the game, the Head Coach of Team A lists Jones as DH for the Right Fielder Baker. The umpire informs the coach they can no longer do this. They either must use a nine-player lineup or have the player listed as both a defensive player and as a DH.

Incorrect Ruling--The previous "ten-player" DH is still valid

Correct Ruling--Only nine players may now be listed, of which one may be P/DH

Which of the following items is a coach allowed to have in his possession while occupying the coaching box?

A Smartphone kept in the pocket for emergency use only.

The protective player must wear a helmet.

The protective player is allowed to interfere with a foul ball in order to protect his teammate.

Non-player S3, who is properly positioned as a protector for the warm-up pitcher in live ball territory, is not wearing a NOCSAE certified helmet.

Legal--Protector is required to wear a glove but not a helmet.

Illegal--Protector must be fitted with a proper helmet before next live ball.

The pitcher steps off the rubber and looks into the dugout to take his signs from the coach. Which of these statements is true?

This is legal, as long as once he makes contact with the plate, he simulates the act of taking the sign from the catcher before he begins his pitching motion.

This is illegal--the pitcher may only take signs from the catcher while in contact with the pitcher's plate.

This is legal in all circumstances. Once he makes contact with the pitcher's plate, he may begin his pitching motion.

After six innings the score is Home 5, Visitors 3. The visiting team scores three runs in the top of the seventh, but conditions become too dark, and the umpire ends the game before the inning can be completed. What is the status of the game?

Regulation game, reverts to previous full inning--final score is Home 5, Visitors 3.

Game-ending status is determined by league policy and is not adjudicated by umpires.

Game is suspended from the point it is called--will be continued at a later date from that point.

Right handed pitcher F1 stands with his right foot diagonally across the pitcher’s plate, and his left foot between the pitcher’s plate and home plate.

This is a legal windup position.

This is an illegal hybrid stance.

Which actions by the pitcher are illegal and should be ruled a “balk”?

R1, R2. Left handed pitcher is in the wind-up position. R2 runs toward and tries to steal third base. F1 steps directly toward and throws to third base, attempting to make a play on R2 at third base.

R1, R2. Left handed pitcher is in the “wind-up” position. R2 runs toward and tries to steal third base. F1 steps back with his pivot (right) foot, then steps directly toward and throws to third base, attempting to make a play on R2 at third base.

R1, R2. Right handed pitcher is in the stretch. As F1 picks up his free foot straight up in the air, R2 runs toward and tries to steal third base. Alertly, F1 steps toward and throws directly to third base, attempting to make a play on R2.

R1, R3. Right hand pitcher steps toward third base with his free foot (left) and feints a throw toward third, then turns and throws to first base. R1 is fooled and is picked off in a classic 3rd to 1st move.

R1, no outs. Pitcher F1 bends at the waist in the set position with the ball in his pitching hand and his arm hanging straight down in the classic “gorilla stance”.

Legal. A balk is to be called only if he makes any motion other than step back off the pitcher's plate or come directly into a set position.

Illegal. A balk should be called immediately.

Pitcher F1, from the set position, pushes off the pitching plate and lands with his pivot foot well ahead of the pitching plate before the ball is released from his hand.

Balk--The pitcher must deliver the pitch with his pivot foot in contact with or directly in front of and parallel to the pitcher's plate.

Legal--once the pitching motion has started the location of his pivot foot is irrelevant.

#3 Charles is supposed to lead off the inning, however the #5 hitter Edwards comes up to bat. Edwards hits a single. Charles than comes up to bat. He takes the first pitch for a ball. At this point the defense calls time and lets the umpire know that the offense batted out of order.

The umpire rules Edwards out and allows Charles to continue his at bat.

The umpire rules Edwards at bat legal and brings up the #4 hitter.

The umpire rules Charles out and brings up the #4 hitter.

Runners on 1st and 2nd base. A double steal is attempted by the offense. There is a pitchout. Batter swings. Batter’s rear foot is (barely) touching the lines of the rear of the batter's box. His front foot is touching home plate, while his heel is clearly touching the batter's box. Batter successfully makes contact with the ball. In what situations is the batter out?

Neither of these, since both batter's feet were in contact with the batter's box.

With 2 outs in the 3rd inning and R1 stealing second base on the pitch, B4 leans over home plate as the catcher tries to retire R1. The catcher has to step to the side to avoid making contact with B4. The throw is in time as R1 is tagged out on his slide.

Batter is called out on Batter Interference, inning over. B5 comes to bat to start the 4th inning.

Batter interference is ignored because R1 was retired on the catcher's throw, inning over. B4 remains at bat to start the 4th inning.

Legal play, the batter did nothing wrong.

Two outs, R3 at 3rd base. The pitch bounces and deflects off the catcher toward the right-hand batter’s box. Batter B4 avoids contact with the ball as it rolls toward the 3rd base dugout. As the catcher aggressively pursues the ball, he contacts the batter while the batter has one foot in the batter’s box and one foot clearly outside the box. R1 scores from 3rd base.

Batter B4 is at risk of interference by stepping out with one foot. If interference is ruled, B4 is out.

R3 scores. Batter B4 cannot be subject to interference since he is considered in the box by still having one foot in.

Batter B4 is at risk of interference by stepping out with one foot. If interference is ruled, R3 is out.

Catcher is ejected for malicious contact. Ball dead immediately, R3 awarded home.

With a 3-2 count on the batter, and just prior to the pitcher beginning his delivery, the batter swings his bat backwards to get in to position for the pitch and hits the catcher’s glove in the process. He then hits the pitch and reaches first safely.

Time should have been called at the time of contact and no further penalty is involved.

Bottom of the seventh, score tied, bases loaded, two outs. Batter B3 hits cleanly into right field. R3 scores from third and B3 touches first base. The home team begins celebrating as the visitors and umpires leave the field. Shortstop F6 approaches the umpires between the foul line and fence and requests an appeal on R2, who went directly from second base into the celebration.

Runner is out on appeal, no run due to appeal on forced base. Game continues into 8th.

No appeal--only the head coach can make a dead ball appeal.

Runner is out on appeal but run scores, game over.

Runs scores, only B3 and R3 are required to touch the next base.

No appeal--fielders and umpires had already crossed the foul line.

Runner on 1st is stealing 2nd when batter hits a deep fly ball, runner touches 2nd and sees coach frantically sending him back on his way to 3rd. Runner retreats and misses 2nd on the way back. The fielder misses the catch and runner changes direction. He again touches 2nd on his way to arriving safely at 3rd. The defense appeals the runner missing 2nd. The umpire rules:

Runner is safe. . . as long as he touched the base on his last time by; he has met the rule for touching bases.

Runner is out if umpire judged that the runner intentionally took a direct path back to 1st in an attempt to circumvent fair play.

Runner out. . . once a base is missed it cannot be retouched.

Runner on 1st with no outs. The runner from 1st steals with the pitch. The batter hits a slow roller back to the pitcher who fields it and feints a throw to second, but realizes the runner is already there. He then makes a wild throw to first in an attempt to retire the batter who was still heading to first. The ball goes over the first baseman’s head and out of play.

The runner from 1st is awarded third and the batter is awarded second.

The runner is from 1st is awarded home and the batter is awarded third.

The runner from 1st is awarded home and the batter is awarded second.
