Jaquish was positioned properly in not blocking the runners path to the plate prior to receiving the ball on the throw.

The UCLA catcher was blocking the runners path almost immediately when she did not have the ball.

Part of the controversy is that Quinn did not appear to alter her path to the plate, which is part of the requirement for the obstruction rule.

Umpire's discretion

THANK YOU!!! And that's what everyone is missing in this. It had to be that the umpire felt Quinn did something that altered her path or speed to the plate. Being able to watch replay after replay, I didn't see it, so in my non-umpire opinion, it wasn't the correct call. But at game speed, the umpire made the decision she thought was correct. I don't agree with it, but that is irrelevant. But some of the comments here about knee touching the ground, catcher can't block the plate without the ball, etc, etc, are just incorrect. There is more than 1 part to the rule.
