This shall be called "King of the Bag." NOTE - If the ball is secured in the fielder's glove near the base, the ball is dead and if the trail runner does not win, she is declared out. If she wins, the lead is out and if the ball is not within proximity to the base, the ball is live and both runners are liable to be put out if tagged legally. |
