It's really hard to see from the video, but what you can see is an awkward or late slide by the runner. You can't see contact in the video because it shows the throw to first, but it looks like there might have been body to leg, more from where the slide started that forced the finish. Don't get me wrong, I'm by no means saying it did it didn't happen, but it looks like the body's may have hit.

As for the rule, it was clear in the rules meetings last year at the State convention that body contact on a thrower will be called. I've seen it called at least 3 times at 2nd over the last two years in our games, as well as the no call that may have cost us one when a Harrison Co. player actually reached up and hit the elbow of the 2nd baseman and there was no call.

Again, the umpire have been instructed contact to a thrower will be called. It's very hard to coach your kids to break up a double play.

There is no clock on the video to tell you where to scroll to, but it's about a 3rd of the way on the video: http://www.ihigh.com/khsaa/broadcast_228...verlight=1
