We had that happen tonight. Our hitter put one pretty much dead center. Their fielder wouldn't have gotten to it, but got tangled up with one of your two teams players. As he had already rounded first, we gave him third.
If it happens right away (before the batter reaches first) then it is a double.
Umps discretion. Make the call as it would likely turn out.

Well that's the thing... we errored on a grounder that went into your field and so called it a home run... but we hit one that went into the south bushes and they told us that was only two bases...? That's what wasn't clear to me... I'd think that's at least 3 bases as it was clean through the hole and no one was around.
Anyways, didn't matter as we gave them two runs they didn't deserve and we still won 13-9! WOOT! SW Team, don't be letting us down on Sunday....
Thanks to RinkRat for pitching for us! She was fabulous!
*Edited based on Shawns post... so what you're saying is that they took it cause we didn't know any better... So really, we gave them 2+ runs out of naivety. It's all good. I didn't want to ruffle feathers so we just let them have it.
