We had a game today where the baserunner rounded 3rd heading home. The catcher did not have the ball, but was standing on home plate awaiting a possible throw. The baserunner mowed over the catcher, who never had possesion of the ball. The throw did come, but was high and uncatchable. It got there about the time the runner did.

I had a 10U tournament game last year where the same kind of thing happened but the throw never came to the plate. The runner simply ran into the catcher and knocked her to the ground. I did call the runner out for USC but in my judgment the contact was not flagrant so I did not DQ her. Offensive coach wasn't happy but TD and UIC agreed with my ruling.
