I saw this one a couple of nights ago.

10U ASA game. R1 on 2nd, 2 outs. B2 hits a high pop up behind 2B (VERY SHALLOW center). While looking up at the ball, F6 unintentionally knocks down R1 who is on their way to 3B. F6 has no opportunity to make a play on the ball. Ball drops in. R1 gets up, goes to 3B, delays for a second while her coach urges her to go to home, goes, then slides about 5 feet short of F2 who tags her out. Home team coach erupts saying that she should get home. Umpire says no.

My opinion: Good call because of the distance the ball was hit, the delay at 3B, and the slide 5 feet short of home. I do not think she would've made it home without the obstruction.

I know this is a HTBT, but your opinions?
