10U play at home

[Dakota]

Did another 10U game yesterday. Had this play.

Runner coming home on a batted ball. Pitcher comes in to take the throw, even though the catcher was already there.

Pitcher catches the ball about 3 feet up the line. Catcher is right behind her, ahead of the plate, too. Runner comes in and runs a bit wide (still legal, though) to attempt to avoid the players standing at the plate and also misses the plate. Pitcher turns and tags the runner before she can step sideways onto the plate.

I called the runner out on the tag, ruling that the runner was avoiding the tag, not the catcher. Coach wanted OBS on the catcher.

What do you think?
