sitting behind home plate at the WCWS last June. She occasionally steps out of the pitching lane (it's likely screwball-specific) but was never called there. She's essentially been 'umpired approved' as was Monica Abbott's gym-step and Kelly Barnhill's crow hop. Once this occurs for whatever combination of reasons it's futile to complain about. On the other hand when the reverse is true as with Lemley it's fix it or live with threat of being eliminated from the game. Nothing new here. That's the way it's been for 25+ years I've been involved in the game. I assure you the VT coaches are well aware of this.
