Hello again,
I know this will seem obvious, but I feel guilty about a play last night. I work a Men's Power league, solo. Runner on 1st and 3rd. Batter hits a flyball to right center, looks long and over the fielder head, but the wind takes it and it drops in front of the fielder. Runner from 1st rounds second but sees the throw is in the shortstops hand, the runner trys to go back to second. From my postion, third base line near third, it LOOKS like the shortstop tagged the runner back. Also, the runner looked like he was jolted forward by a tag. BUT I could not see the runners back, so I did not SEE the tag. I called the runner out. I regreted it after I did it, but I could not change my call, especially being a woman ump in that competitive league. So someone please remind me, if I can't see, it don't call it. Thanks.....
