seeking clarification. 12u
Catcher takes a throw from the shortstop on a relay from outfielder. She has the ball and tags the runner out at home (who did not slide - or try to avoid contact with the catcher). Home plate umpire calls the runner out. He is standing between home plate and the pitchers mound, IMO had a good view of the play.
Offensive Coach appeals, field umpire over rules and calls the runner safe due to catcher obstruction. Catcher was not on the plate until there was a throw home.
?????
Just trying to understand why this was called the way it was. ASA sanctioned tourney. I'm the parent of a catcher so trying to help 12u daughter understand this call (she was not the catcher involved)
Thank you softball zone community!
