Several years ago my middle DD played in a 8u all-star game that was using a three man crew. Our hitter hit a ball in the gap with a runner on first. The umpire that was calling at first base ran across the diamond and completely took out the batter-runner who was advancing to second base. I wasn't sure she was going to get up and go to either base. The play went on with the defensive team over throwing third base and the runner that started at first scored. My batter-runner was able to finally crawl back to first. After the play, I argued that the umpires should place my batter-runner where she would have ended up without the umpire obstruction. They stated the umpires are part of the field and the runners have to work around them (somewhere in there I also let them know that this wasn't baseball and there is no room for them to be running across the infield). Were the umpires correct or should I have won this argument?
