Given all the info, it appears the offense blew it. OC realized it.

Strange things happen on the ball field and it is too bad they blew it. Hard way to go. Nothing you could do about it.

I have a question though. How loud is a "loud verbal"?

Thanks.

I don't think his indicator doubles as a decibel meter.

At least, I know this one doesn't!

I think the loud verbal was probably loud enough, as I'm imagining him in C, facing the general direction of the 1B dugout. The OP mentions that the OC knew he had OBS on the call, so it sounds like everyone was pretty aware of his call.

I was thinking that perhaps it was too loud and scared those poor kids.

But either way, yes, it sounds like the offense blew it.

So, given that both teams mis-interpreted the obstruction call and vacated the field, are there not any of you blues that would invoke your "god rule" and fix this situation?

Absolutely not, unless I were given specific direction by someone higher than myself to do so (ie., a UIC or a TD).

Reccer,

I will ask the "Gods" next week. I am not being flippant.
