I am an umpire and I have aquestion about a call that was made in a game I was playing in.
We had runners on 1st and 2nd. Batter hits the ball to the 3rd baseman. 3rd baseman boots the ball backward and toward shortstop. Our runner is in the basepath between 2nd and 3rd, and as the 3rd baseman turns to go get the ball they collide. The homeplate umpire calls our runner out for interference and says he should have went around the 3rd baseman.
I felt like this was the wrong call to make as there was no way for our runner to get out of the way.
Was this the right call or was it wrong?
Thanks
