Coach here. This is what happened recently. R2 on second stealing with the pitch. F5 is playing about 5 feet in and boots a grounder, but getting enough of it that the ball stops in the second to third base path about 2 feet from the third base bag. F5 dives the 5 feet and is laying across the base path when R2 arrives. F5 has not yet obtained possession of the ball when R2 slows down and attempts to side step F5. F5 regains possession and tags R2 before R2 touches bag. PU working alone called out.
My runner asked what she should have done and I said she did all that she could do. But I'm thinking maybe she should have come in with a hard slide and forced Blue to call obstruction.
On the other hand, some of you sound like you would call her out for intentional interference with a fielder attempting to field a batted ball.
Why should my runner be punished for the defense booting the ball?
