re: Looking for a softball ruling:

quote:

---

Runner should be safe at 1st due to obstruction. Unless......it was ruled that the runner was running outside the base path, then the runner is out on interference.

Runner was ruled out at first.

No obstruction called one way or the other.

I was told by another umpire during the game that the batter should have been called out for interference.

Just seemed backwards to me since the pitcher made a play for the ball, kicked it into foul, then the collision occured.
