By rule the umpire made the right call. Cant step out of the box. Using common sense would tell the umpire it wasnt by accident. It isn't the catchers first time to do this to someone and it wasn't even the first time in that game alone. Pine Prarie is a good team. The catcher is good. If she had missed the girls head the ball was going over the fence. She would never miss a pick off that badly.

This is straight up battery. If that ball hits where the catcher planned, the batter likely ends up with a broken orbital at minimum and potentially could have even died


I'm pretty sure a softball can't fit into the opening of the cage in the helmets the wear. However, it doesn't make what the catcher did even the slightest bit excuseable.

By letter of the rule she had to hinder the catchers ability to make a play. Did she do that? No. It failed even the “letter of the rule” test

This is incorrect . You are allowed to step out the box. You can’t step out the box and hinder the catcher to make a play . She didn’t do that

She should have been ejected immediately from the game and the LA sports officials should've banned her from playing in LA again.

Folks, I don't care what the rule is, this is clear assault with intent to injure.

Verbatim rule

quote:

If the batter interferes with the catcher's throw to retire a runner by stepping out of the batter's box, the plate umpire shall call “Interference.”


The batter did not come close to interfering with the catcher throwing towards any runner at all. The batter interfered with the catcher throwing into the 3rd base dugout

For this to pass the “letter of the rule”, the rule would need to be “the batter steps out the box and the catcher hits them” would need to be the rule

Because by rule her moving out the box puts her into the field of play


Beyond this, less than 2 outs, runner on 3rd, batter K's, how does she get from the batter's box to a 3rd base side dugout?

I posted the rule. Stepping out the box does not make it interference. You have to actually interfere with the catcher making a play

if you notice which way the catcher "crow hops", she moves to her left. Had she intended to throw to 3rd she would've crow hopped towards the base. It was an intentional throw at the batter

I don't think there is a single person arguing that it wasn't intentional.

But that's not what they see in tik tok videos, which is where they get their interpretations of the rules anyway. shite....half of the umpires get them from tik tok as well.

This is a bush league play by the catcher - no way any person with upstanding morals pulls this shite.

However, the rule is based on intent and the quality of umpiring you get in LHSAA makes it a tall task for intent to be judged.

Girls are taught since 9U to stay in the box until the ball goes back to the circle precisely for this reason.

There are bush league players that will take this opportunity and hide behind the rule.


agree, my daughter is a slapper. It's always in her head when a runner is on first.

Hopefully the Pelican Sports 446 crew pulls this kids invite. What a POS

Well, without their Ace pitcher, i dont think they get much further.

Im told the pitcher was expelled? That sucks.

As far as the catcher, She is extremely intense. Yall should see the video of her getting into a fight in a parking lot with a grown woman when the kid was about 14. She whipped that woman's arse. It was a fist fight. Not one of them hair pulling things.

She knows the rules very well. I have no doubt she purposefully was attempting to get interference called. I do doubt she was trying to hurt the other player as much as she didnt worry about it if she did. She wanted the call.

She did hit a 3 run home run to tie the game on a 3-0 count. She is a Junior and a good player committed to LSUA, I believe.

Looked like that strike out was the third out too.

Should have been a 3 game suspension at least.

It was a 3-1 prior to the pitch. Full after.

Wouldn't be surprised if LSUA pulled that offer after seeing this.
