************SAME UMP I COMPLAINED ABOUT EARLIER**************
I hit a ball up the middle and the pitcher threw his foot up to stop it. He ended up kicking it towards the first base line. I was running in foul territory on the outer line of the base line towards the orange bag and ran into the first baseman going for the ball (in foul territory), while trying to get around him and to the base. I was called out for runner interference. Correct call i know is once the pitcher touches the ball it is a live ball and if its laying in the baseline i have just as much right to the baseline as the fielder does to get the ball. Im actually suprised our umps didnt call it foul. Thoughts?
