Amherst Slow pitch:
Team Mangers : A question came up last week related to the new rule that allows teams to designate one player (before the game starts) that will always be run for once that designated player reaches base. The runner to be used will be the last out and not count towards he five other runners allowed. Here is the clarification : If during the game a team decides to use one of their allowed five courtesy runners and the last out is the player that is the designated player to be run for all game, that player is skipped and you go to the next last out to be the courtesy runner . skipping the designated runner does not count towards your allotted five courtesy runners. Also remember that the player designated to be run for is only for the one player indicated before the game. If that player comes out of the game, the designation does not transfer to his replacement or any other player on the team. Kevin Kerr
