Question
Guest Bill C
Situation: bases are loaded, 2 outs. The batter hits a hard shot back at the pitcher. It ticks of his glove and rolls directly to the 2nd baseman. As he is about to field the ball he is run over by the base runner going from 1st to 2nd. It Should be an easy 4-3 put out. The initial call is interfence and the runner was ruled out. The officials reversed their call 4 times as the offending teams coach made up rules that are not in the rule book. Keeping in mind this is high school not the NFL. What is your interpretation?

Right: the runner is still expected to avoid the fielder. Because there's no such thing as a deflected fielder, you see...
