In OBR rules, you make no calls. This is an appeal play. If the runner is heading towards his dugout area, the catcher is not required to chase him for the tag. We grant the appeal if the catcher steps on the plate and asks for appeal.

Welcome to the
SOFTBALL forum. Let me put this as gently as possible; no one here cares even one momentary point of interest about OBR rules. Feel free to discuss ANY version of
SOFTBALL rules, please spare us references to other sports, like football, basketball, volleyball, swimming, diving, or baseball.
