here is a situation that happened during my game today and i was just curious as to what you would call... its kind of debateable.. i'm not sure about what the rules say on this one....
there is a player on first, no outs
the batter hits a high fly ball to centerfield, she runs and rounds first, the girl on first is almost to second base, and the centerfielder catches the ball...
as the batter was rounding first base, she ran into the first baseman. ?she was jogging back after the round, and blocked the first baseman's ability to catch the ball to tag the runner. ?the runner was clearly safe.
this was the call that was made-
obstruction was called on the batter, and the batter was called out because of the catch. ?But not only was the batter out, but now the runner was out also, because of the batter's obstruction. ?So the defense made a double play on a caught ball.
what would you do in this situation? was this the right call?
just curious
