I understand that the umpires are part of the field but I have a question for Bretman.
Have a runner from first going to second on a hit ball by batter, on the way to second the field umpire runs in front of the runner going to second, therefore running into the runner and causing her to almost stop and the defense throws the ball to second for the force out. She would have clearly been safe if no contact from the umpire. What is the correct ruling on this? Should the runner be called out or safe?
