Can runners slide head first at home Cal Ripken majors league? Had a play where catcher was getting ready to receive a throw from first to make the tag and feet straddled apart. Runner slid head first under his legs to avoid collision and beat the throw (little guy didn’t touch catcher). Defensive coach argued can’t slide head first. Offense coach argued he avoided a collision and was only way to the plate without knocking the catcher over. Ump called safe but we want to check for future reference.
