Runner takes a wide turn around third and heads home. The catcher runs up the line while the ball is in flight from the centerfielder. The runner runs to the right of the catcher which makes him look like he is way out of the baseline. After the runner has passed the catcher, the catcher catches the ball and tries to swipe tag the runner, who is already behind him and trying to get to the plate.

The coach said he was out of baseline. I ruled the runner safe, because he established his baseline after he rounded third, and he was also avoiding a collision with the catcher. I also told the coach that I could have called obstruction on the catcher because he was in the runners basepath without the ball.

What do you think?
