It is a rule but most umpires won’t call that. He didn’t fill a hole but that was a great lie to try to cover it up. 12:30 is a good way to start a middle war. You can also see why he erased the line. He would’ve been out of the box if he hadn’t erased the line. You’d think with all these guys being over 50 yrs old they’d grow up and stop acting like children. Wow called out looking and complained it was flat. Dude needs glasses
It seems like a stupid rule but have never seen a call made in all the years of playing softball. But you have to think why in the heck did the batter even brush off the line in the first place? is it to get a better advantage so he can get out of the batter box without being called out?
It's amazing how indignent people become when they get caught breaking rules. Like it or not, we all know the rule. If you get away with it other times or in other places is irrelevant. Rules are rules. The lead-off batter was arrogant enough to do it right in front of the ump, he deserves to get called out. It's not a new rule. Suck it up, Buttercup...you got caught. LOL
Rules are for EVEYONE !!! there was no hole he took the line out due to he walks up on the ball in the box thus he will not be called out when he steps out period he is lieing he is OUT !!!
So, if a player were to bring an illegal bat to the box and the catcher sees it, they shouldn't say anything? Or, if a player bats out of order...or, if someone is using an illegal glove...Since when do we get to pick and choose the rules we want enforce? Ok Captain Obvious! LOL
Just my opinion but the catcher started that mess by bringing it to the umpires attention! It’s slow pitch softball man ! Let them play haha! The first batter did erase the line on purpose and I know why after watching him hit. He walks the box and I guarantee he’s probably been called out for being out of the box before !
This is worse when playing at BLD in Vegas where the line is permanent. The way the box is set up and the way SSUSA uses the mat, anyone who sets up forward will be called out every time if the ump enforces that bullShit rule. As long as you're not walking the box and going middle on the pitcher, the rule is crap.

only one ump?
SSUSA LOL!!! Did they ask for a charitable donation to reverse the "out" call? Pffft.. So glad I don't play them anymore.
Catcher should be so proud of himself. Real hero

If, if, if. His TRT doesn't make him feel manly enough I guess. It was a punk move. OK, smittywce2809! LOL.
Personally I don't agree with the rule but the batter was definitely erasing the line!
Wow that ump. He’s a real beauty, huh ??
The umpire wouldn't have noticed but the catcher snitched him out
13 minutes that dude blew the pitcher up 100% on purpose.
I would be called out every time. Umpire a joke
Let's Play Ball !!!!!⚾⚾⚾⚾⚾

Snitches get stitches
That’s probably then catcher saw him do earlier and was just waiting for him to do it again. It’s chicken shot but it is a rule.
