NFHS game to determine 2nd place in the league.
What should of my middle infielder done? R1 on 1st, ball hit to middle infielder. We get the out at 2nd, MI winds up throw to 1st for DP, umpire is standing in line between 1st and 2nd, watching the BR headed to 1st. She eats the ball, BR safe.
Is the call umpire is part of the field, our player did the right thing? I never would tell a player to throw hard at a person on the field, but I have told catchers to softly toss the ball at the body of the batter in her way of her throw (never the head) on a play at home if the batter is in her way. Should MI tried to step outside to avoid umpire?
It was a close game that we lost because of at least 4 mistakes, so it's our fault. Just a little frustrating we lost two outs because of umpires out of position.
2nd time runner R3 at 3rd, grounder hit to F5. F5 glances at R3 to freeze her, R3 is way off base and starts heading back to third. F5 dives at R3 and tags her in the leg before she touches 3B on a dive. BU had anticipated throw to 1B and is confused when ball isn't thrown, so turns around and sees play as R3 touches 3B. Calls runner safe. After our coach asks the BU to ask PU if he had a better view of the play, the BU after talking PU, says neither of them had a clear view of the play, runner safe.
Understand if umpires don't see something they can't call it. I'm also grateful we had a BU that got most calls right, but as I am a USA rec umpire it was frustrating seeing the FU regularly out of position.
