You go with that, but don't complain when the umpire ignores the INT/OBS and throws the player out of the game for unsportsmanlike conduct.
To tell you how bad the umpire was in that Shockwave game.A ball is hit almost directly at the SS ,she charges in to make the play and collides with the runner and 1 or both of them falls down.This was textbook interference but even if it wasn't the blue has to call something its either interference or obstruction when there is a collision in that situation.He called nothing and then tried to say the ball was past the ss whem the collision occurred which was not the case.In a championship game with 3 umpires he also refused to talk about it with his partners to get the call right.
Well, if you really are what you name states, I guess you will be enrolling in umpire classes next January.
