American Legion Rules.
R1 steals on the pitch. R1 comes into the base standing up and makes contact with F6, who is straddling the bag awaiting the throw. The contact came before the ball got to the base and the contact caused F6 to not be able to field the ball. The ball then rolls into center feild. The contact was neither hard nor malicious, but it was significant enough to cause F6 to misplay the ball.
Is this a violation of the slide rule? Is this interference? Would the ruling be different playing under NFHS rules?
I've heard several different opinions on this from different umpires in my association and I would like to hear what you guys think.
Thanks!
