Definitely agree with the HTBT. Usually, for me to see malicious contact, I need to see a thrown elbow or something along those lines - something that convinces me that the runner attacked the fielder. I've seen that a few times in JO ball & dumped the runner every time. I have not seen that in any of the HS games I've had & only once in games I've been watching - the runner was not dumped in this game and I noted that on the observation form.
