cbfoulds:
This was a Pony league game (13-14 yr old)
Ball was being thrown from RF to 2B, throw was in the air when slide was made.
Not sure if he needed to be there, I was not the field ump
This was a hit, R1 was going for a double
The slide was directly intot he base
R1 slide into F1, causing F1 to fall on top of R1, so it was a hard, but legal, slide. No high spikes or anything.

The toughest call an umpire has to make is not the half-swing; the toughest call is throwing a guy out of the game after you blew the hell out of the play.
