Ok looking for opinions.
Let me 1st say in both instances out player made a bad decision and put themselves in a bad position
1st play our runner rounds 3rd and stops half way in between 3rd & home, she should have kept running but hesitated, the play was a ground ball and the fielder threw to 1st for the out. 1st baseman comes charging over and literally tackles our player for the out.
Next inning my daughter hit to the hole at SS and beat the throw. She mistakenly turns into fair territory and gets thrown to the ground as she’s being tagged out.
When did tagging a runner morph into tackling a runner?
Anyway our fans were going nuts and the opposing coach & ump said nothing to the linebacker playing 1st.
I was giving Blue a ball that was hit out of play and asked why no warning to player or coach? His response was it was a legal play. This team has no class and their coaches always argue every little call. At the very least I would expect the coach to tell his player to take it easy. I’m ok with a hard tag so the ump can see it but not ok with girls bring thrown to the ground.
We crushed them just the same and hopefully we will see them again real soon.
I will say my daughter got another hit a couple of innings later and the 1st baseman apologized. That tells me she knows she did something wrong.
