Hey, was this you? (I guess not, poster says "she").

Asked the field judge and she said there was no contact. Asked our ss if there was contact she said yes then asked if we could get help from the plate umpire and field judge said no. I did not push it any further. Between innings asked the plate umpire (off the record what he saw) Field judge came up and wanted to know if we were talking about the play. I asked how she defined interference she responded "look it up in the rulebook".Plate umpire then answered if there is contact 99% of the time it is called. Field judge then said " contact was made after the ss had made the play on the ball.I responded "you said there was no contact!" Then field judge said I would be ejected if I "said another word"
