May 3, 2026 hitnrun5	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Slide or get out of the way Does a runner going to second base have to slide or veer off on a double play attempt? Does the runner have the right to the base path to second base, thus, the fielder would have to avoid hitting the runner with the throw to first base by stepping out of the base path?
Feb. 18, 2026 hitnrun5	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Runner missing scoring plate Two runners score on base hit, first runner fails to touch scoring plate, second runner touches scoring plate. First runner goes back and touches scoring plate. At no time does catcher step on scoring plate. What is the call, is this an out declared by the umpire or an appeal call?
Feb. 15, 2026 hitnrun5	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Orange bag Thanks, Dave
Feb. 14, 2026 hitnrun5	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Orange bag Is this an SSUSA rule? I was shown an ASA rule stating it was an appeal play. Not sure how old the rule book was.
Feb. 14, 2026 hitnrun5	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Orange bag Batter/runner steps on white bag only, beating the throw from an infielder.Is this an appeal play by the defense or an out call by the umpire due to not stepping on the orange bag?
Oct. 3, 2025 hitnrun5	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Thanks to SSUSA I want to thank everyone for taking the time to sign the card Mark Webber passed around at the 70 world championships. This includes Dave and Fran Dowell, Terry Hennessy, one of my favorite umpires,James, and all the players and family members. Short version of my medical scare, I had major back surgery that led to massive blood clots in both lungs. I was transported to the hospital where I underwent emergency surgery to clear the clots. I was given less than 10% chance of survival. After numerous tests, this week I was informed there was no damage to my heart due to the clots. I am on the road to recovery. Thanks again for all the prayers and support. Kenny Vaught Az Scorpions 70
Jan. 15, 2025 hitnrun5	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Clarification for pop-up caught by catcher rule B.J.for clarification, are you saying a foul ball caught by the catcher that does not go over the batter's head is not an out?

Oct. 30, 2024 hitnrun5	Topic: Women's softball Discussion: Field Assignments There are 20 fields in Mesa, plus four in Gilbert and six at cactus yards, all within 10 miles of Legacy. Do Mesa and Gilbert not allow tournaments?
Dec. 9, 2023 hitnrun5	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: What's the rile It was an SSUSA tournament. The umpire ruled it was the batter's foul to waste, not an out.
Dec. 8, 2023 hitnrun5	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: What's the rile Two strikes on batter with one to waste. Batter hits foul tip, straight back, catcher catches the ball and the ball does not go over batter's head. Is the batter out or is that his foul to waste?
Sept. 23, 2023 hitnrun5	Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Batter out of the box All you tall guys think you have problems with the batters box, try being 5'4" tall! If I stand at the back of the box, I can't reach the short strike, and if I stand at the front of the box, the deep strike is way over my head! We short guys/gals don't lobby for a smaller batters box, we learned to adjust.
Sept. 23, 2023 hitnrun5	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Timberworks I agree 100% with Webbie. It's not Timberworks fault none of the other 70+ teams came. If you strive to be the best, play the best. In my mind and in the minds of many, Timberworks is the 70 major plus champion for 2023 regardless if SSUSA wants to recognize it. Congratulations to a team of class players coached by a man that has kept it going, Doug Robbins Kenny Scorpions 70 major
Oct. 14, 2022 hitnrun5	Topic: Teams looking for players Discussion: Oregon/Washington team looking for 60 Major players Bob played for me on AZ Scorpions 65 major plus in 2022. He is dependable and an excellent teammate. He is a good hitter with occasional power and one of the fastest outfielders in 65's. He would be a good addition for any 60 or 65 team. Kenny Former manager of Scorpions 65
Aug. 23, 2022 hitnrun5	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: KC Kids Walt, I was referring to the 65 team, which is in fact major plus. Dave, I see where the change has been made. Thanks
Aug. 23, 2022 hitnrun5	Topic: Tournaments Discussion: KC Kids KC Kids are rated major plus, but are on the major team list
April 6, 2022 hitnrun5	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What's the ruling Thanks Dave, I appreciate the quick explanation. Looking forward to our first major plus tournament, see you in Vegas. Kenny Scorpions 65 major plus
April 6, 2022 hitnrun5	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What's the ruling Dave, having played with timberworks for three years, I don't want anyone to get the impression I feel Timberworks gets special treatment. TW plays by the rules set forth by ssusa. My only question was and still is, if a 65 major plus team qualifies as a 60 team and plays 60's in Vegas worlds, will that team play with eleven defenders as is their normal defensive allignment .
April 6, 2022 hitnrun5	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What's the ruling Let me ask this way Dave, if a 65 major plus team plays in a 60 qualifier and then chooses to play in the 60's world tournament, will that team play with their normal 11 man defense?
April 6, 2022 hitnrun5	Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: What's the ruling Why is Timberworks getting five runs when playing 65 major plus? Play 65 major plus, play by 65 major plus rules...
