| May 9, 2022 shortstop33 35 posts | obstruction or interferenci runner on base pop up fielder runs into runner standing on bag fielder drops ball, what is the call. I know in baseball you have to vacate bag because it is not a safe haven, in softball it is. |
| May 9, 2022 B.J. 1060 posts | I’d have no call other than a possible IF call and play on |
| May 9, 2022 shortstop33 35 posts | I can't believe you have no answer for me BJ. There has to be a rule. Say he is on second, only runner on base, the shortstop runs into man on second, if the runner was not on the bag shortstop would have had easy play. Does play have to move off bag as they do in baseball. |
