NFHS malicious contact by the offense is always an out call and ejection, ASA has no provisions for an out call for UC. At the conclusion of play, call time, inform the coach the player has been ejected and they need a substitute to replace the runner. |

I'll play along. F3 isn't getting a free pass. She's getting OBS called on her every time this happens - with appropriate penalties as warranted. So far, I'm not ejecting anyone. Others may be. If someone else opts to eject the runner for some violation, tossing the fielder as well simply sounds like an emotional response to the situation. What rule support is there for ejection of either player (NFHS or ASA)? Note that while a push I will consider deliberate need not, by definition, be malicious. Carry on...

What type of rule would you expect to "justify" an ejection? Unsportsmanlike conduct seems appropriate anytime one player initiates unecessary contact intentionally with another player. Please note, I'm not suggesting an ejection every time one player runs into another.

If F3 is habitually going to the inside corner of first base on every base hit, it is either a fielder that doesn't know any better or she has been coached to do it. I like and have used the Irish solution, tell the coach and/or player not to do that anymore....and then what is the consequence when a player or coach refuses to follow a specific directive from the umpire? Ejection....

I believe it was the 3rd or 4th inning when BU called time after the play and led that player to the dugout and told the coach he needed to make a change at 1B due to F3 not adusting her play to avoid the OBS. Coach asked if she was being ejected. I believe my partner's response was something along the line of "not yet". IMO, this is much like dealing with a batter that cannot stop unintentionally slinging/throwing a bat after contact.
