Umpire Interference...!!

[Haid D' Salaami]

So i had my 1st ever Umpire interference call tonight, working the plate in a JUCO game. R2, R1 stealing.. catcher moves back to throw around the batter and smacks me int he face...runners were safe... as soon as the throw happen I called it out, and pointed at myself... had to send runners back.. but the coach that it hurt, said nothing...he saw it.. I have not heard of this being called too much.. Im not trying to say Im proud of my self, but I know it wasn't my fault.

Just wondering if there was anything that feel you could have done better to prevent it?

Sometimes we just don't clear F2 fast enough which could cause it or could have been set up a little to close to F2.

But it does happen from time to time.

No.. I was setup good, and he just moved back into me....i have seen this happen, before but the umpire just didnt call it

It does happen, hopefully not often, but you were right on it.

Ouch, I'm glad it turned out well.
