Hit by batter
Has this happened to you? Your the plate umpire in a game of ASA fast pitch, there is a runner on 1st who legally attempts to steal 2nd. As the plate umpire, when I see this I move quickly towards 3rd to cover if the ball gets away and there is a play at 3rd. As I am moving out the batter takes a step out of the box and takes a practice swing right into my elbow (Dang, that hurts). Is there any rule or revenge I could call to prevent this from happening again?
Thanks
Bugg
