R1 jumps up and her helmet is now in her face from the dive and making contact with the fielder to the point that she cannot (or can not) see. She tried to straighten it up but it didn't get any better so she just knocked it off her head. Again, NCAA rules - what do you call?
I felt it was a safety issue as much as anything - she's running down the baseline and there's no way she could see where she was going. Since it was intersquad . . . I just called her over and told her she would have been called out in a regular game (rule 8.a effect) - her coach JUMPED her @$$!
So what do you think - no call or out?

Does the NCAA require a play or possiblity of a play for the rule to be in effect?
