here is the situation. Happened in a JV game yesterday. Girl on second base, easy liner hit toward shortstop. very winding so ball was misjudged. SS starts back then comes toward the ball. the runner passes behind the SS and trips her. the SS falls down and misses the ball. The coach ask the umpire about interference. the umpire said that the fielder was in the baseline and that she would not have caught the ball anyway so there was not interference. the coach questioned the home plate umpire on the ruling. Hoping the home plate umpire would converse with the base umpire. the home plate told the coach that the base umpire made the call to go back to the bench and lets play ball
I have also seen umpires call a foul ball when the ball hits the plate and goes in fair territory.
Also seen on infield fly and the ball is dropped the runner takes off for the next base, fielding team picks up ball and throws ahead of the runner. The runner is tagged out but the umpire sent her back to her base saying you can't advance on an infield fly.
these are all calls i have seen this year
what is the ruling of the first one
thanks
