Ok, guru's of the softball world, here we go.
16U ASA JO rules are in effect. Bases loaded with one out. Three balls, and one strike is the count on the batter. All infielders are playing for the bunt. Batter hits a medium height pop fly over pitchers head. Plate umpire signals infield fly. All runners were off on the pitch. Second baseman catches the ball with shortstop standing less than five feet away from her. Runner on 2B, attempting to return to second base, collides with the shortstop, who now has no responsibility on the preceding play. I rule obstruction on the shortstop, and return the runner back to second base. Coach comes unglued, no protest is made, and the game continues on.
HELP me sleep tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
