Last night had one of those "SMH" moments.

2-man, I'm BU. R3, 1 out. Pitcher throws a 58-foot breaking ball that gets by the catcher. R3 breaks for home, F1 scrambles to cover. R3 crosses the plate standing up at the same time F1 sticks his glove out to catch the ball from F2, but doesn't catch it because R3's leg hits F1's glove. PU calls R3 safe. DHC asks for time and asks, "isn't he required to slide?"

My partner (a new umpire this year) stuck to his guns. I didn't hear the conversation, but afterwards PU gave another safe sign and we played on.
