Had this happen in our game today with the Lasers Gray... 2 outs runner on 2nd .. after the pitch our catcher throws the ball straight to the SS (to pick the runner off in her lead) who was positioned in the baseline (or very close to it - maybe a step behind) - SS and runner collide as the ball gets to the SS - SS drops ball - umpire calls runner interference - out.
Question is... does fielder have right to the ball in this instance as called?
If SS stepped forward and collided with the runner as she was moving - it that different from SS standing still and runner running into her. How does basepath affect the call and position of the fielder?
Bretman? Others?
