MD,
You did not offend at all. I am trying to learn the accepted way that softball is to be called. I have been doing baseball for twenty years and softball for 2. The closest rule I can find about the force being reinstated is 8.7.C. In the play that you posted, R1 is sliding roughly parrellel to the 1B line. Even if she is on the 1B side of 2B, I don't see that the force would be reinstated. BUT, if that is the interpretation that ASA wants that play called, I will call it that way.
Not asking questions to be argumentative, just want to become the best that I can be. I throughly enjoy and love doing baseball, but with softball, you get entertained at the same time.
Any help that you can give is greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
