Happen last night just wondering how you vets might of handled this situation it was in a Men's D level where anything can and will happen one team is a church team the other is made of young guys (20-30)
I am PU runner coming in home catcher standing on the plate with no play when runner comes across I see a elbow thump to the catcher in the back nothing malicious but diffently contact. I inform the catcher that when he doesnt have the ball that he cant be standing on the plate but didnt say anything to the runner at this time was not sure but only thought the bump was intentional. Next inning same runner coming in to score again this time I have the pitcher and the catcher standing in the area around home but not in the runners base path I also have another runner coming into 3rd and the ball coming into 3rd so I just make a quick qlance at home to make sure runner touches then turn back to 3rd the FU has a runner coming into 2nd watching there anyways after the play this time the pitcher is complaining saying when the runner came by he hit him.
Since I had seen the contact the 1st time but didnt see it the 2nd what I did was pull the runner out of the dugout told him very firmly and only loud enough for him and me to hear is if it happen again he was gone and his team would forfeit since they had no subs and after the inning gave a warning to the team coach on what was going on
What you think guys would you have handled it differently?
