Quick Question
Somone called me and told me they had this play tonight as base umpire:
ball hit to F6 and BR crossed the base but stepped on F3 foot which was on the base. BR was across the base before the ball arrived and the ruling was safe. There was an appeal to PU, and PU said out. What is it? Please state ruling/case play.

Why was the PU even helping on this play? The runner is safe because U1 called him safe.

I understand PU getting involved if F3 pulls off bag or something like that, but the BU did not ask for help.

I don't have my rule books handy, but my take is the BR beat the throw to the bag, so he is safe. Now I suppose the PU was ruling that the BR never actually touched the bag because he stepped on F3's foot? I don't buy that.
I also suppose that after all the hopping and jumping around the F3 will learn to take the play properly. Bob P.

Obstruction
Sounds like F3 hindered the BR from touching 1B. Rule obstruction and award 1B. Play on. From the description this play wasn't close. Why look for trouble? The only reason the BR didn't touch the bag is because F3's foot was there, without the ball.

I doubt you will find a reference. Obstruction in this case is a stretch, as the bag was not blocked.
Was this HS or youth ball? I don't doubt that a coach was tossed because of the unsolicited over ruling by the PU. Bob P.

I'll tell you right now some OOO called the runner out for interference. This guy's a moron.
