I hear ball/bat connection , then I hear another tick. I didn't see what the tick was, but I heard it.

Would it have been okay to call catchers obstruction without seeing it ?

For the record I no called it-but now I'm thinking I should have called it.

What do you think happened? A double hit? A bat/glove contact followed by a bat/ball contact?

What did the players actions tell you happened?

I'm thinking it was glove/ bat tick....Players actions didn't help. FWIW they were 12U.

I would say that if the bat hit the ball and then you heard another sound, then you probably wouldn't have obstruction. That's not to say that the glove couldn't still get in the way of the batter completing the hit, but if the ball is already moving forward, it's going to be quite hard to have obstruction if here another sound.
