CASE PLAY #1 Situation: On a hit and run with R1 on 1 st. B2 hits a ground ball between 1 st and 2 nd. F4 dives for the ball. R1 sees that she cannot avoid F4 in time and elects to hurdle her. F4, in getting up, makes contact with R1. Ruling: At the time R1 made a commitment to hurdle, F4 was lying on the ground. Therefore, R1 is legal, even if contact is made. If, by getting up, F4 contacts R1, F4 could be called for obstruction if she does not have the ball.

CASE PLAY #2 Situation: A throw form F9 draws F2 into the base path of R1. the ball and R1 arrive simultaneously causing contact between F2 and R1. F2 drops the ball and R1 scores. (The contact is not intentional nor flagrant) Ruling: There is no obstruction or interference. This is simply a collision. The run scores.

CASE PLAY #3 Situation: R1 is on 2 nd with one out. F2 obstructs B3 who hits a ground ball to F4. F4 throws B3 out. F3 overthrows to 3 rd in an attempt to retire R1 who scores on the overthrow. Ruling: The coach of the team at bat may elect to take the result of the play scoring R1, or she may accept the catcher obstruction penalty, placing R1 back on 2 nd and B3 on 1 st.
