I've been reading the rules as well as the comments posted here.
I also understand that the "spirit" of the rule is to avoid collisions at the plate.
Questions for the forum:
Should this ruling be protested? (For the win as well as to affect change in how this rule is enforced).
Should this rule be specifically amended?
Lastly, my son hit a triple in a game and was also called out for taking a primary lead, but the rule saying it was a mandatory out and no warning or teaching would be applied was administered the SAME day as the call.
I'm also proud to say that I've taught my son to abide by rulings and NEVEr argue a call. He handles himself with composure. I just feel that the rules are bring applied poorly and without any thoughtful interpretation.
What does the group think?

This is NOT a Little League rule. What rules were you reading?
