BR is hurt from the collision and the ball rolls towards the fence.
What call would you make?
Also, would you call time immediately because of the injury or wait until all playing action has ended? In this game, the ball was at the dugout fence at the time of the collision. The runner, on second, decided not to advance because he was so focused on the collision. Also, not one fielder attempted to pick up the ball.(Fed Rules please)
Thanks,

No call on the collision. In general, time should not be called during playing action for an injury. In this instance, it's possible that the injury was so severe that time should have been called. I say this based on the "inaction" of both the defense and the offense -- that usually doesn't happen during minor injuries.
