11/12 year old fight

[tldavis19]

Top 3rd no outs runners on second and third. Batter hits a grounder that the 2nd baseman misses. runner from third is safely home and the runner from second hesitates and comes home. The catcher is standing on home plate when the throw comes in high over the catcher's mitt. The runner comes in standing up and contacts the catcher. I didn't think it was malicious, just contact. I call it nothing and the catcher falls to the ground having been in the air trying to catch the ball when the contact was made. The catcher gets up and begins trying to tackle the offensive player (which I have to admit I chuckle at now because the catcher was maybe 5'0" on a good day and the runner was in the 5'8"-5'10" range and twice his size). The catcher ends up wrapped around the offensive players ankles trying to bring him down and it was on. The taller kid ends up on top of the smaller kid pushing his face into the ground. At that point the coach for the offensive team finally arrived from the dugout and pulled them apart at which point I ejected both players.

Did you call the Obstruction?

Using the basic strike 3/chain yank mechanic, I bet I can toss the average 11/12 year old, by his belt, from on top of the plate to outside of the dirt circle.

@Dragon29 there wasn't obstruction, the runner had plenty of plate to access without getting near where the catcher was trying to field the ball.

I only asked because . . . 

 

. . .   The catcher is standing on home plate when the throw comes in high over the catcher's mitt . . . 

 

Couldn't tell from your OP if the runner was near the plate or not when that happened.

 

Just yankin' yer chain, anyway.
