Why it's the COACH'S DAUGHTER, who has decided to cross the outfield on her way to join her TEAM on the home side. She is not in uniform... she had a concert tonight. And one fielder has to dodge her to get to the ball. (figure the odds). So is this an interferce call on a spectator, ergo dead ball? Or a case of 'Gee, coach, don't you're players know not to cross the outfield during a game'?
This is what makes U12 and U10 ball so much fun;-)

Which coach's daughter, offense or defense? Sure, award bases as appropriate to negate the fact that fielder had to dodge the girl. Hopefully, everyone will realize that what was awarded is what would have happened anyway, if done smartly. If in doubt, advantage to the team that does not have a coach's daughter running across the field.
