Runner coming to home and catcher has the ball and it is not a force play. The runner levels the catcher and the catcher holds on to the ball. The runner is called out and catcher is throw back and the back of head hits the ground. She goes to hospital with a concussion.
Question: Does not base runners in ASA have to slide or try to avoid contact. It looked like this girl leveled this catcher on purpose?
This happened this weekend at the ASA Challenge tournament in Dallas.
