Last night...FED game.
R1 on 3rd, R2 on first with nobody out. Tying runner is at 3rd so the coach is overly excited. The batter hits a long pop fly to centerfield. The runner from 3rd takes off while the ball is in the air. The coach is screaming for him to tag, but the kid is confused. The coach grabs the kids jersey and trys to pull him back to the bag. The centerfielder drops the pop fly. The runner from 3rd comes around to score, the runner from second slides in safely at home on a close play, but then they nail the BR trying to get to second on the throw home. What a mess!
Here's what we did. We called R1 out on coach's interference. The BR was out on the play at second. R2 had to return to 2nd base because that was where he was when the coach interfered. Now the coach has two outs, has not tied the score and only a runner at second.
This really ticks him off to the point where he "decides" he doesn't want to watch the game anymore...if you know what I mean.
Did we make the right call, or boot this one?
