About a decade ago, team was playing in a state tournament (Men's D) There was a local athlete who at the time was on the Las Vegas Gladiators' roster who was picked up by a team. Problem was, the team roster had already been submitted. Like most ASA associations, the team was told they...

Saw this in a game I was watching the other night. F5 straddling 3rd facing 2nd. Runner coming into the base without much urgency. Throw from F7 is right on target. As the runner steps for the base, F5 catches the ball and tags the knee and the ball pops out as F5 stumbles backward...
