Horns in the championship series, thought it would be cool to check out some softball.  Tech runner obviously caught stealing, possibly the most obvious call I’ve ever seen, they reverse it, a swinging the entire game.
 

Back to ignoring softball if that’s an out.  Cheer on our ladies everyone.

By the letter of the law that was not obstruction, by the NCAA softball rule book (see note 3):

9.5 Obstruction 9.5.1 Obstruction occurs when: 9.5.1.1 A defensive player, neither in possession of the ball nor in the act of fielding a batted ball, impedes a batter’s attempt to make contact with a pitch or impedes the progress of any runner who is legally running bases on a live ball. It can be intentional or unintentional. 9.5.1.2 A defensive player, while not in possession of the ball: a. Blocks any part of the leading edge of first, second or third base or home plate (as defined); or b. Otherwise blocks the runner from advancing or returning to a base. 9.5.2 The defensive player is not considered obstructing if they are in possession of the ball or they are, in the judgment of the umpire, making a legitimate reaction to the trajectory of the ball after it is thrown.

Notes: 1. Once in possession of the ball, the defensive player can be positioned between the runner and the base/plate. 2. Obstruction may be ruled even though there is no physical contact. 3. If in the umpire's judgment, the runner would have clearly been put out then the obstruction is ignored. 4. Obstruction can occur on a force or tag play.

 

She was hosed, ergo no obstruction.  The umps have lost their damn minds over obstruction.

They need to increase all dimensions on the standard softball park by 10%.  Too many 1-0 games and too many run rule games.  Decrease the effectiveness of the pitchers but make it harder to hit home runs and hard to slap hit.

Wasn't Maloney hitting .400+ on the year or something?  2-11 in the WCWS?  Helluva time for the leadoff hitter to go cold.

She did that last year in the post-season too.  Slapping against great pitching and defense is tough.

12" high pitch....STRIKE!!!

Told You the strike zone would suddenly expand 

Team looks they’ll be down 1-0 in the series. Becoming a Mike White speciality

she didn't do any of that

What the review official is saying is that her left foot was in 1% of the base path before she had the ball, therefore impeding the progress of the runner and meeting the definition of obstruction. Total Bull shit

These girls are swinging to tie the game instead of working counts and trying to get on base. Not good

you talking about the last two slap hitters?  disagree

Does Glasco throw someone else tomorrow to save Canady for a game 3 or go for the sweep?

Canady will pitch every pitch until the win or lose, unless we can put up multiple runs against her
