A Clarification on B Rule Bunting,
Yes bunting is allowed in B League
Josh McNeils Maid a motion to Add 3 innings to a pitchers innings
on rain outs and rescheduled games, and those innings are used in
the make up game only.Seconded my Drew Mikkelson,
Voted all yes, none opposed - motion carried
Josh McNeils Motion to change the rule #17D to Does not included
balls which go out of Play on an overthrow ball that goes out of
play, 2nd by Arnie from Waterman,
Voted all yes, none opposed, motion carried
Another part of that Rule is when the Ball is in the infield and
a runner is in between bases at the time, if the runner does not
stop as the throw reaches the infield, he may continue on to the
advancing base and is liable to be tagged out as a result, but
once the runner is stopped or makes any motion to head back to
the base he just came from, he must return to that base while
the ball is in control on the infield.
All Voted yes, none opposed, rule 17D is to be rewritten
