Rules time!

Here’s a nice handy chart that simplifies batting out-of-order.

Knowledge of the rules is paramount when officiating baseball and softball. Batting out of order might seem confusing, but this chart should help clear up any misconceptions about this particular rule (NFHS rulebook 7-1-1 & 7-1-2).

We’ll try and do more of these types of postings as much as we can.

The more you know 😉

Anyone who’s involved with Little League knows that this is the busiest time of year. It’s All-Star time!!

For us umpires, these games provide us with an opportunity to work some highly competitive games and hone our skills with more than just the standard two-umpire setup.

Here we have our very own Tony, Josh, Jeff, and David (L to R) set to work the 9-11 Section 3 North Championship game. Working as a 4-umpire crew isn’t an opportunity we get very often, and it has been extraordinarily special to work a number of these games during this season. It only improves our skills as umpires!

Special shout-out to Jeff who will soon be working the Eastern Regional Tournament in Bristol, Ct. It has been our pleasure to help you get ready for one of the most prestigious tournaments Little League has to offer!!

Nothing like an Intrasquad Scrimmage on a beauiful Saturday afternoon for some new umpire on field training. Even included one of our new officials calling his own kid out on strike three. Let the season begin!
