Injured Player-Fed Rules
Player gets nailed by a nice hot fastball in the forearm. It sounded painful. After a couple of minutes of player rolling around and crying it's becoming obvious she is on the way to the hospital for x-rays. Opposing coach insists she needs to touch 1b before she can be replaced or she is out when entering dead ball territory. When he started that line of thinking I went to partner and he agreed with coach. I told him I would take responsibility for the call and ruled player was injured and did not have to touch 1B.
My thinking is hey she was obviously hurt, possible broken bone, lets not get stupid.
please tell me I was right ?
Or at least make a decent argument why I was wrong . LOL
