Something is wrong.

Mike I am probably just not describing it accurately enough. F2 was set up on the back of the plate with her arm stretched out in front of her (over the plate) to receive the ball in such a way that R1s body made contact with her arm as the ball was reaching her glove.

What is wrong here is that I applied the theory of remaining upright and not avoiding contact to a situation where the feilder was not holding the ball.
