While in between innings at the ASA State this weekend, I glanced over to the other field and noticed this play. Never saw it before, probably never will...and hope I can describe in words what I saw happen.
R1 on 2B, R2 on 1B with no outs. B3 hits a sharp ground ball to F6. F5 was playing in for a bunt, which caused F6 to run towards 3B to get the force herself. She was now in the basepath with R1 behind her. As F6 approached the bag, so was F5. F6 slowed down almost to a complete stop, which caused the runner to slow down accordingly as R2 was only a few steps behind F6, and then F6 gave an underhand toss about 4 feet to F5 on 3B for the force out.
F6 had definitley impeded R2, but while in possession of the ball. BU made no OBS and rang up R2.
Just wondering what others think about this.
