Question
Guest Brandon
1) If a batted ball hits R1, I know he is out and all other runners return to the last base occupied, but what happens to the batter? Does he re-bat with the count that existed before the interference took place?
2) Under NFHS, can a fielder only block the base when he has the ball? I had a play with a runner stealing third and I ruled obstruction because the third baseman dropped the catchers throw, but was still blocking the base as he proceeded to pick up the ball and tag the runner. The coach believed as long as there was a play being made at the base you could block the base and told me I needed to read the rule book. I believe I am right, but wanted to make sure.

The coach IS entirely wrong, as the OP specified FED. Coach is not an asshat for being wrong. He's an asshat for telling someone he needed to read the rules. You post what you want, and I'll

And put that coach on a short leash for the rest of the game.

Hold the phone. Do you mean to tell me I've read these posts about a hundred times and never saw that you typed "foul popup?" Jeez Louise. Sorry about that.
