With 1 out and R1 at 3rd, B2 hits a fly ball to F7. R1 legally tags at 3rd, and attempts to score after the catch. Catcher F2 catches the throw, goes to the ground and blocks the plate with his left leg prior to R1 sliding into F2’s shin guard. F2 tags R1 before he is able to touch the plate, and umpire U1 calls the runner out to end the inning. As the 1st base assistant coach walks to his 3rd base dugout, he asks U1, “I thought there was a new rule stating that a runner could not be denied access to the base?” As U1 briefly explained the rule, the assistant coach continued his walk to the dugout.
