So we are playing the Semifinal 14B USSSA state tourney bracket game today. Back and forth game with lots of scoring.
We were batting in the top of 4th with about 15 min left.
Nice rally going to score 3 runs to tie the game at 9 each. No outs. Our number 4 batter comes to the plate with a runner on second. She’s a big girl, not particularly fast and is DP today.
She takes a big swing and squibs a ball down the first base line. 3 charges fields the ball clean and goes to tag our runner. BR runs into the outstretched glove of the fielder and the ball gets dislodged and rolls into the dugout on 1st base side. R1 on second advances to 3rd and takes a turn and when the ball gets away runs home.
Plate Ump calls deadball. BR out on the tag. R1 gets called out because the ball was knocked away on purpose.
Runner did run into the tag bang bang play and it was right on the baseline. She didn’t make a move into or away from the fielder.
Correct call?
