The rule says a pitcher has to wipe off her hands after touching the rosin bag. And awarded a ball without a pitch occurring. I think Pete was questioning whether or not that was even the rule and ended up being tossed. After being tossed, reports are that he got his money's worth.

The Auburn coaches complained - that’s the only reason the umps called it. -- HolidayInnHokie Feb 28, 2026 at 09:26 PM ET

I thought they called an illegal pitch more than once.** -- dallasvt Feb 28, 2026 at 11:00 PM ET

They did, but I was referencing the one where no pitch was made** -- VTChip Feb 28, 2026 at 11:02 PM ET

I know, but what was the other one for? Losing contact with the rubber?** -- dallasvt Feb 28, 2026 at 11:03 PM ET

That's possible, but I'm positive she only threw 3 balls to that batter.** -- Nortazhokie Feb 28, 2026 at 07:22 PM ET

And each ump carries a hand clicker with balls, strikes, and outs. -- TomTurkey Feb 28, 2026 at 06:45 PM ET
