Watching this just makes my heart and head hurt. Haley was looking straight up at the pop up. Technically being the higher number position it was her play as her coaches have always taught her. I just don't understand why any runner would try and make that much contact on a play since they are risking their wellbeing as well. What really blew my mind is that the umpires had to get together to determine if this was interference. Haley is as tough as they come - she was crying the rest of game after this hit which she doesn't normally do.
This happened on Thursday - she wasn't able to play defense Friday as she still had pain and her hitting was also off. However Saturday she came back with a vengeance just in time for bracket play. We were down 4-1 in our first game and she hit a 3 run home run oppo on a rise ball to tie the game - then her next at bat she hit another home run to seal the deal. Then her next game she hit an absolutely laser liner home run off of a very talented and very fast Boise State commit - she said she was one of the fastest pitchers she has ever seen. She actually almost had another oppo on her next AB but the right fielder sprinted and laid out catching the ball as she fell over the temp fence.
