Well ... yes or no ... I was coaching in this original post ... Not saying whether I was the OC or the DC ... Think about what I could argue either way and then I will say what the Umpires ruled and what I argued and we can go from there ... BTW ... I protested the game, we were ahead at the time and won 7-5, so it was a moot point ...
Sometimes this game playing is a little tedious...Given the information from the original post:
R1 goes back to second slightly ahead of the throw and bumps F4's glove with her hands as the throw is arriving ... ball hits the glove and bounces out rolling away from second base ... R1 runs to third
I think Bretman answerd your question Friday.....
Well, not my intention ... The reason I posted as unslanted as I did was to get as unslanted an opinion as possible ... The way I saw it was the way I stated in the OP ... Even I thought it could go either way ... or three ways ... OBS, INT, Malicious Contact ...
Plate Umpire made this call over the base umpire who was on top of the play ... He called interference on R1 and sent her back to second ... The DC argued that she should be out ... He consulted with the base umpire and called R1 out ... OC argued that it should be OBS and not INT and that the contact was incidental because F4 was standing on the bag, in R1's way without the ball ...
* EDIT: BTW - I was the OC and lost this argument ...
