| Nov. 5, 2017 Umpire35 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: Interference/Obstruction During a Run Down Guys please remember obstruction does not mean the runner gets the base he was going back to if in the umpires judgement the runner would have made the next base he could have been awarded 2nd base and all other runner awarded the bases they would have made had there been no obstruction. PS once the obstructed runner is put out prior to reaching the bsee they would have made the ball becomes dead and bases awarded. |
| Nov. 5, 2017 Umpire35 | Topic: Rules of the game Discussion: effect of interference call by umpire Interference does not have to be intensional. It is always in the umpires judgement the reason for this is the safety of the game. If not players would be throwing the ball at players coming into the base just to get a double play. The rule states: Interference is the act of an offensive player or team member that impedes, hinders or confuses a defensive player attempting to execute a play. Interference maybe in the form of physical contact, verbal distraction, visual distraction, or any type of distraction that hinders a fielder in the execution of a play. Defensive players must be given the opportunity to field the ball anywhere on the playing field or throw the ball without being hindered. |
