Pass Home
Ok guys, league ball, slow pitch, 14 & under, happened last night. I was a spectator. Bases loaded. 1 out, ball hit to short, throws home late to get the force, runner passes home w/o touching plate before ball arrives. Catcher drops ball and then p/u ball and touches plate. Umpire hesitated and called runner out. Coach goes beserk. Ump explains that runner failed to touch base and by catcher touching plate after the fact she was appealling the runner had missed the base by the catchers actions. Coach thought it should have been a verbal appeal. I think it was dumb luck on the catchers part, but thought it was a good call. Any ideas/thoughts???
