Our shortstop tried to move out of the way by moving forward or backward but the runner did the same thing too. I think it was caused because of a pick off play we did the previous day to pick them off second, but none the less, what is the rule on that, if any? The umps discussed it but I was in the stands. I did hear them say there should not be any contact but did not hear a rule. Also, which umpire would watch that since the one in the field is watching for a balk and the home plate would be watching the pitcher to pitch? [/quote]
