Ya know, you're really gettin too detailed into this thread. But, for your enjoyment...the runner was in the process of sliding, body sort of in mid air (feet just left the ground)...catcher (doing what he SHOULD do) has glove on the ground...however, catcher does what he SHOULDN'T do (in YOUTH basebal mind you)...and pops the kid over his shuolder and flips him.
sequence of events:
Runner on third
Pitcher in motion to pitch
runner starts for home
Catcher, sees runner, jumps infront of batter to catch ball,
runner goes down line
catcher runs towards third
details aforementioned ensue.
I will end with saying, I made the right call, in the interest of the game. I threw a kid out who was damaging to the game. IMO, Umpires shuold look out for the players as well as the game (im YOUTH ball, that is...dont want to frazzle any Umps of the Big Show). I was looking out for both. If you want some more info for SNG's, then I can provide you with some, down to the players uniform pattern. But the fact remains, I made a call, and stuck with it. End of Story...
