Train Wreck @ the Plate
Men's league, R3 and R1 two outs. Batter hits a swinging bunt directly to F1. F1 flips the ball to F2, and a collision occurs between F2, R3 and PU. I have no idea why F1 flipped the ball to F2 or why PU is on the third baseline. PU ends up face down and is shaking. I call time as both teams are screaming (defense out, offense umpire interference ???) I check on my partner's condition and after he says he's ok, I ask what call he made. He said he didn't see the play and was knocked out for a second. I called R3 safe. Home team protests the game. Is this the correct procedure in such a case?
BTW: R3 did not maliciously run over the catcher.
If anyone had a video camera at the game this will end up on YouTube!
