Contact Rule...

[canablue05]

Thanks guys for your replies.

I was getting more at the force play slide issue, I just posted the entire thing because it was all I could find on the Baseball Canada webpage regarding contact...

For you Bob:

In the first situation R1 slid through the bag, and in doing so made contact with the fielder, which resulted in him dropping the baseball on the transfer.

In the second situation R1 slid to the right of the bag, within reaching distance. Contact was made, which resulted in the breakup of the DP.

From the interpretation I was taught both of these plays should have been ruled interference, and the out at first base should have been awarded. Is my interpretation accurate?

Thanks again.
