I am going to try to describe this in such a way that I don't appear biased and see if I can get a reasonable answer, so bare with me.
10U ASA rules.
Runner on 1st and 2nd, and ball is hit to right field. Runner at second rounds 3rd headed for home. Catcher standing in front of plate between home plate and pitcher awaiting a throw. She is in such a position as that the back half of her body is obstructing the plate.
Throw coming in from right is cut off by 1st baseman about 20 feet from plate, negating the play at home. Runner collides with Catcher standing up. Runner does not fall, but catcher is knocked down.
The runner did not intentionally or maliciously run in to her. What is the call?
