I kid you not, Mark, Jr. (an OhioHSAA umpire himself) was the F2 in the play. He told me it looked like the PU was trying to clean the plate with his shoes. After ten (10) minuates of discussion, the umpires put R2 back at third base. We knew this wasn't correct by rule because this was not umpire's interference by definition but the PU really screwed the pooch on this one.
One other thing, MTD, Jr. and I have looked and looked and looked and we have 't been able to find a single umpires' mail order business that sells plate shoes with brushes on them. I guess they are like bats that come with hands attached to them.
