R1 on 3rd, R2 on 2nd. Ball hit to RF right on the line. F9 gets the ball and throws to F3, R1 scores. R2 rounds 3rd, heading home. R1 (after scoring) crosses in front of F2 & home plate to remove the bat left lying on 3rd base line. F3, trying to make a play on R2, throws to F2. Of course, the ball goes too high and over the glove of F2. R2 scores.
I find out after the game F3 (my DD) intentionally threw the ball higher than normal because she saw R1 in front of the catcher. If she would have made a normal throw, she would have hit R1.
As a "teaching" case... what should F3 have done?
I'm pretty sure PU & BU were LL baseball umpires pressed into service for softball. It was obvious they didn't know some of the nuance rules (specifically when a runner needs to return to a base, or can leave the base).
