As far as malicious contact I have called it several times as well but usually at the plate and maybe once or twice at second. Never at third or first or between bases.

Thanks for making me think a little bit.
Unless a recent change, Babe Ruth baseball does not have FPSR. Check LL, Dixie, and others, as I am not up on those. FPSR is generally used for leagues that use FED rules.
