You make the call. Safe or Out!!!

R1 on 1st, BR hits the ball to F7, ball drops in front of him. F7 picks the ball up throws the ball down to 2nd, F4 has his foot on the side of the bag (foot on the side of the bag that is on 1st base side) R1 is sliding with his foot first, F4 does not have ball yet. R1 slides hit F4 foot, F4 catches ball, no tag, falls on R1. What is your call?

Pretty much a had-to-be-there, but I'm going with obstruction, R1 awarded second.

Yes, That is what I called last night, and you should have seen the outfielders scream no bad word thank you, If I would have heard any they would have been gone.

Assuming this is men's ball (either fast or slow) they should know better. It's amazing what these guys think they can do...and have gotten away with.

You got it nailed. How much clearer than
POE 35 CATCH - BLOCK - TAG

Small world, I grew up in Las Vegas in 60's and 70's, lived a short stint in Sacto in 73, Went to same ASA clinic in N Georgia with Buddah.
