Catcher sues baserunner for collision (co-ed ball)

[jsblanton]

I have played some co-ed softball. Hated it but played. We had a guy crash into our female shortstop (who is probably the best player on the team) while she was waiting to catch a fly ball. I thought the field ump was going to have to be restrained. He was furious. A few innings later, same guy on 1B had the ball stuck in his ear on a double play attempt. Field ump called batter runner out for the interference. I was on the bench just thinking to myself,"I have to go to work tomorrow this is a Sunday afternoon softball game and people are trying to hurt each other. I no longer play.
