Comp.quick question on this. I thought (dangerous) there was a rule implemented about not sliding into second on DP attempts. With the helment facemask in place some runners were staying upright willing to take the shot. I'm not talking about anything other than staying vertical in the basepath.
Had this scenario come up twice in 2 consecutive 1/2 innings in a JV game last week.
1-out, Runner on 1B, Ball hit to SS, SS throw to 2B for force out, Runner from 1B remains upright coming into 2B, Umpire calls Interference on Runner, Batter-Runner also out. Inning over.
