Also from eteamz, here is an intentional crash, as described by an 18U player... (slightly editted for readability)

Let me tell you from a player's perspective, or, let me be more specific, from an aggressive player's perspective.

The score is 4-1 at the time you get a clean hit over the right fielders head. You score 2 more runs and you're coming in and the ball beats you there. You see the catcher waiting and blocking the plate 3 feet in front of it.

You want her to drop the ball in a within a split second you collide she doesn't drop the ball.

Hey nice try Move On!!! Good play by the catcher holding on to it.

That is an aggressive play by the runner. You can sit there and nod your head and disagree but all you are basically going to do is turn softball into a wuss sport.

You can't take the aggressiveness and competitiveness from the game of softball or it would have no meaning. Think about what you are doing. All we are is another group of girls who love the game and who are very aggressive. And let me tell you there is no shame in that.
This sounds like clear INT and possibly USC/EJ. But apparently at least some umpires aren't calling this.
