SAOA Softball - Intentional walk - slow pitch

1. Intentional Walk (Slow Pitch) An intentional walk is permissible and occurs during a dead ball. A pitch is not required and the international walk starts by the defensive team notifying the plate umpire of their intent.

2. The umpire should call time out and award the batter first base without the liability to be put out. A possible appeal on a previous play is nullified. When two successive batters are walked intentionally, the second walk may not be administered until the first batter reaches first base. Intentional Walk
