MLK day championship game and one of my girls was ejected without warning. She hit the ball to their 1st baseman. The girl feilds the ball, with no runners on, and makes the choice to straddle the foul line instead of going back aprx 10ft and touching the bag. Our girl runs hard in the base path colliding with their 1st baseman. She did not raise her forarms or lower her shoulder; but pulled her arms in before contact.
We teach our 1st baseman to apply A two handed tag to prevent the ball from popping out and to stop advancement from runners. We also tell them to be prepared for the force of the on coming runner.
Was our girl wrong for running hard to 1st base or should she have slowed down as the ASA umpire suggested ?
