I agree with Steve. Definately BU's call, but if possible get in a
good position to watch the play and also be ready in the event the
runner on 3rd tries to come on to HP. Just this past week, I
saw an umpire drift towards 1B to the outside on a snap throw to
1B, with runner on 3rd. F3 caught the ball and quickly fired it
towards HP to try and retire advancing runner from 3rd. PU had stepped
back inside slightly, and the ball hit him in the back of the head.
Umpire interference? NO, just bad mechanics on this play, IMHO.
