scenario: Runner on 1B. On the Pitch, Runner attempts to steal 2B. Catcher throw low and to 1B side of 2B bag. Runner, Ball, and SS arrive at 2B simultaneously. There is "contact" because ball, SS , and Runner are converging to the same spot, at the same time.
Regardless of whether: a) SS is blocking Runner from reaching base on slide, b) Runner, by sliding into base, prevents SS from fielding throw from C
Is this a non-call situation? If everything happens at once?
or is there Obstruction or Interference?
My inclination is " no- call", but I want to hear other opinions.
Thanks!
