    Slide or avoid

    When do you enforce the rule listed below? Slide and Avoid Base runners are expected to slide or avoid collisions. If, in the view of the umpire, a base runner does not slide or avoid a collision when there is a play on him, he will be called out. Malicious “plowing” of a defensive player will result in ejection from the game and could result in suspension of the offending player for the next game. **in 10u travel ball, this rule was being enforced. If there is a ball being thrown to home plate, and the runner crosses the plate a split second before the ball gets there, does this rule still take effect and the runner being called out for not avoiding a potential collision? Or does the ball have to beat the runner to enforce the slide or avoid rule ? What about a play at 2nd base? We had a runner run and stand straight on the bag (he was called out cause the ball beat him there) but the runner going to first was not called out. Wouldn't that be interference? Even if the batter was safe by a long shot running through first base?
