If the catcher is blocking the plate

I did a tournament two weeks ago and had this same thing happen... the ball was overthrown into center field, no play anywhere near...

The PU called him out and ejected him... and he was the winning run in a tied ballgame... which they went on to lose... the coach wasn't happy...

Theres no play, no obstruction since theres no play, and no need for a runner to take him out...

I raised two catcher's in my house. I have no sympathy for the coach or anyone else associated with the team that had the malicious contactor. Drawing a line on me might not even set off a firecracker, but malicious contact will definitely light my rocket.
