Runner on 1st. Ground ball to 2nd baseman. Runner attempts to avoid contact by jumping over the 2nd basemen as she is fielding the ball. The runner ends up kicking the fielder in the head. The fielder manages to field the ball and keep her feet, but is a bit dazed and does not complete the play. After a conference between field and plate umpire, they call both the runner that made contact safe at 2nd and the batter safe at first. Explanation was that even though there was significant contact, the fielder was still able to field the ball and should have been able to complete play at 1st base. Huh??
