Question
The opposing team had bases loaded, a ball was hit to the infield and thrown to home for the force at home. The girl on third intentionally runs our catcher over, and she gets a busted up nose.
Is she not required to slide? If so, what ruling is it, and where is this within the rule book. What I seemed to have found so far, she should of been thrown out of the game at least for plowing over my catcher.
Response
A runner is never required to slide.
The runner may not initiate malicious contact (deliberately, with great force, crash into fielder with ball)
If the runner had not already scored, she would be out.
In any case, she would be subject to ejection.
