    Thanks for replying GCMPats2 and Coach85.  On scenario #2, I thought the pitcher had to face a batter to be able to get the win.  Thanks for clearing that up. 
    In regards to the 3rd scenario, whose has to make the call on the hidden ball play?  I think it's safe to assume that the umpires will not know each and every rule for every district that they call games in.  Heck, I bet most coaches do not know all of their district rules.  Does the coach have to bring this to the umpires attention?  Do they have to have proof of the rule with them?  What is the proper procedure for this scenario?

    Once he enters the game as the "pitcher of record" he is not required to throw a single pitch to be credited with the win.

    I would be suprised if many districts have Game Play rules that are different from the UIL. If they are, all schools in the district approved those rules and should have knowledge of them. I am sure they inform the umpires before the season starts.

    SCENARIO/QUESTION 1:

    The batter swings the bat and hits the catchers glove.  Interference is called and the batter is awarded 1st base.  What is the official ruling for the batter?  Is this an official at bat?  Does it go down as a reach-on-error? 



    SCENARIO/QUESTION 2:

    Top of 7th, tie ball game, visitors have runners on 1st and 3rd.  The starting pitcher is pulled with 2 outs.  The relief pitcher comes into the game, throws 2 pitches to the batter, then picks the runner off of 3rd to end the inning.  The home team then scores a run in the bottom of the 7th to win the game.  Which pitcher gets the win?


    SCENARIO/QUESTION 3:

    Bottom of 7th, home team is down by 1, runner on 2nd.  The visiting team uses the hidden-ball pickoff play to get the last out of the game.  The district rules state that "HIDDEN BALL PLAYS" will not be allowed.  What happens?

    E2, or error by the catcher, is the proper scoring notation for Catcher’s interference. Unlike other plays where a batter reaches base on an error, the plate appearance is not counted as an official at-bat. For determining earned runs, batters reaching base via catcher’s interference are not considered the responsibility of the pitcher. Therefore, a batter-runner reaching base via catcher’s interference and subsequently scoring would not count as an earned run. Unlike other fielding errors, the out made by the batter cannot be assumed for earned run scoring purposes.

    Pitcher #2 would be the "pitcher of record" and therfore the winning pitcher.

    #3
    Do not have an educated opinion on that one.

    Sounds like they need a couple pitchers.  Bidding starts at 3pm.

    He's more of a "catcher".
