Happened during the Cubs-Giants game last night. Giants batting R1 at first. Batter attempts to sacrifice bunt up the first base line. Pitcher comming over to the line tries to scoop the ball and tag the runner all in one motion. As he tries to scoop, he misses the ball and knocks it across the first base foul line and continues to go after it, running into the batter-runner going to first. Batter runner stumbles and gets thrown out at first by the pitcher.
The original call was out at first. Alou comes out to argue, the crew gets together and cancels the out and awards first to the runner, I guess ruling obstruction on the pitcher. Took about 5 minutes to figure out. Anyone else see this and any comments?
