A situation came up in my DDs' HS game tonight that I'd never seen before:
Ump is setting up as far on catcher's left shoulder as I've ever seen an ump set up before. Batter pops up a routine foul ball to catcher's right shoulder. Would have been a very easy play for the catcher, but the ump moved the wrong direction and clearly prevented the catcher from making the easy play. The ump calls interference on himself and awards the team an out.
I was impressed with this ump for taking a mea culpa and trying to get things right, but do the rules (NFHS) justify his decision?
