Obstruction???
I have to admit, I'm the coach in this scenario. Not blue. And for the record I did not actually say a word and don't know for sure the umpire saw what I saw. Plus the game had already gotten away from us and there wasn't much time left. However... say he did see what I saw - would you do anything here.
ASA 10U ... if Gold is the top level, we are Pewter or Lead. R1 on third gets a good lead, but Batter pops up HIGH to F4. Despite numerous cries of BACK!!!!, R1 crosses home and is perhaps 2 steps from the dugout (which happens to be at the far end, just past first base) when she finally realizes she's being told to get back. F4 is similarly slow to recognize the situation and is just happy she caught the ball. R1 takes 2 steps back toward third base and runs right into F3 (no, I have no idea why she was 4 steps foul), almost falls over, takes about 4 more steps before she's thrown out by a mile. Was she obstructed. Heck yes. Had she not been obstructed, did she have any chance of getting back in time. Heck no, not even close. Assuming you see all of this, do you make the call? Do you if it's 14U Gold (unlikely 14U gold players would have done any of this, I grant...)? Do you if your supervisor is in the stands. Just curious, really.
