Int with on deck batter

[soapbox]

Fed rules. R2 attempting to score on single to outfield. Throw short hops F2 and ball gets away. F1 while ball is hit to F8 starts coming in to back up play at the plate. As I get into position for a play I hear a collision and after R2 scores see the on deck batter and F1 on the ground. F1 gets up and gets the ball. I call in my partner and he explains what happened. On deck batter started to come to the plate to tell his runner to get down. Whats the call. R2 had not scored when collision took place.

Dunno. Not enough info. Was there a chance to get R2 out? I assume you are PU. Why didn't you see the collision?

Happened out of my sight line. I was watching the ball to F2. No, couldn't get an out at the plate, but INT happened prior to the run scoring. No matter what, I got at least part, if not all wrong.

The ODB is permitted to move into position to signal his teammate. If the collision was inadvertent, I've got nothing.

 

If F2 fields the ball cleanly, the collision is irrelevant. I'm not bailing them out with a BS INT call because he can't catch (or F8 can't throw, or both).

 

I'm basing this from how I read your play, in which the collision happened between 2 players moving into position before F2 misplayed the ball. If that's wrong, the ruling might need to be different.

There's no INT. No play on a runner, contact occurred before F1 had a play on the ball, defense needs to play better.

Kicked it. Won't next time. Thanks guys.
