Maybe this discussion needs to begin right here. Do we have obstruction on the catcher for this thread?

Could be. The collision rule above seems to be the NCAA rule. If the obstruction rule is also the NCAA rule, then I'd agree that this could be obstruction, or it could be a train wreck.

And, to the OP, stating "jr legion" doesn't really help with the rules code -- there's some discussion on another boad where some state is playing by one rules set for "jr legion" and another rules set fro "sr. legion."
