Cool

gordon30307,

As per high school rules, if the batter is not already out and the runner is not attempting to advance to home, there is no basis in the rules for calling the runner out.

Calling the runner out in such a case would NOT be a "judgment call", it would be a gross (and protestable) misapplication of the rules.

BTW, I have no issue with you (and, I believe DG) suggesting that, in your judgment, the catcher always would have had a chance to retire the stealing runner absent the batter's interference.
