Explain your point of view have watched the reply twice , the ball is off the pitcher's glove, also the runner ran behind the SS which would also make it a non interference play as she gave the fielder a chance at the ball.DIII District

Looked like it could have been interference on the runner that scored the game winning run.
The ball was hit up the middle and the shortstop took a step to her left. The ball was quickly deflected by the pitcher and the SS attempted to return to her right as the runner passed behind her. The SS spun around and missed the ball. It looked like the runner may have contacted the SS and spun her around as the ball was passing by. It is impossible to see on the video if the runner made contact with the SS.Explain your point of view have watched the reply twice , the ball is off the pitcher's glove, also the runner ran behind the SS which would also make it a non interference play as she gave the fielder a chance at the ball.
I was there and there was definitely contact between the runner and the fielder as the fielder was getting ready to field the ball. You are absolutely right about the replays, couldn't see the play from them. The only thing you do see is the runner stopping at 3rd, putting both her hands on her head and knowing she made a mistake. There are two pictures circulating on the internet that shows the contact but I was told that the umpire that made the call said there was contact but it happened after the ball was by the SS, which wasn't true.Explain your point of view have watched the reply twice , the ball is off the pitcher's glove, also the runner ran behind the SS which would also make it a non interference play as she gave the fielder a chance at the ball.
