Personal foul - late hit
Fall ball, 16U. ASA rules.
R1 on 3B. Wild pitch, runner coming home. F1 is asleep and stays in the circle, so no one is covering the plate. R1 slides in safe. F2 makes a late attempt to tag the runner, but instead just kind of clumsily dives into her. Runner was already safe before F2 began her dive/tag. Nice little crash, with F2 tumbling on top of R1 and the two of them rolling in a tangle a couple of feet.
Since it was not "malicious" (i.e. no intent to injure, etc.), all I did was advise the catcher to not do that again.
Comments?
