So - two plays from the past weekend have been making me think about scoring errors and they both involve the "ordinary effort" clause.
One was a defensive play for our team and the other was a defensive play for another team.
1st play:
Waist high line-drive directly at 2b. She recognizes that it is going to hit the ground before it gets to her and tries to make the catch. She charges and dives at the ball and the ball hits the dirt just under her glove and goes under her as she falls.
2nd play:
Similar hit - waist high line drive to the right of SS. She moves to her right (maybe 3 steps) to intercept the ball and it bounces - slightly changing direction- so that it misses her glove and hits her left knee (which was out front and moving at the time) and gets knocked all the way off the field behind 3rd.
