Week #7 - Play of the Week

It's a little bit late, but here is last week's Play of the Week from IJK's new contributing writer and photog :

If ESPN has the Top 10 plays then i figure there should be one for SCK as well. So with all the games that took place and all the awesome plays that happen there was only one that stood out to make it the PLAY OF THE WEEK.  

This play of the week took place at Modesto 2 between the  NEW KICKS ON THE BLOCK VS. SHOCKERS. Just to recap it a little, its the bottom of the 5th, the score is tied and the Shockers are last to kick. With only one out, Calvin "Calvino" is on first, and Bison is up at the plate. All they need is one run to win this intense game. Bison gets ready to kick and "BAM", kicks a hard grounder that goes right between first and second. The ball makes its way to the all mighty Domino. Now we all know Domino is one of the fastest and best players in SCK, so no one will dare think they can outrun him. However that was until that day, Calvin takes off as fast as he can to second base and decides to practically commit suicide and run to third. With Domino on his tail and only 4 feet behind Calvin it was going to be a close call. Then it happens, only ten feet away from third Calvin dives head first to the right side of third and the ball gets thrown but barely misses Calvin and he is safe, BUT THATS NOT ALL! Calvin quickly gets up and takes a few steps off the base without seeing the ball. Thats when the third basemen throws the ball to hit Calvin but Calvin quickly puts his foot back on the base before it hits him and the ball bounces off and goes to the outfield while Calvin runs home with his shorts pull down to his knees and wins the game.
And that there is the PLAY OF THE WEEK!

Here's a bad play by the Umpire in the Bad Ass vs Drippin game.

Wrong on the call UMP! It was a FORCED OUT but he freaked when the other team challenged and reversed his call of 3rd out and put the runner back on second. Read the rule.....

In baseball, a force is a situation when a baserunner is compelled (or forced) to vacate his time-of-pitch base—and thus try to advance to the next base—because the batter became a runner. A runner at first base is always forced to attempt to advance to second base when the batter becomes a runner. Runners at second or third base are forced only when all bases preceding their time-of-pitch base are occupied by other baserunners and the batter becomes a runner.

A forced runner's force base is the next base beyond his time-of-pitch base. Any attempt by fielders to put a forced runner out is called a force play. A forced runner is out (called a force out) when a fielder with the ball touches the runner's force base before the runner reaches that base. A forced runner also may be tagged out in the usual fashion as well; such a tag is still considered a force play if the tag is made before the runner reaches his force base. Any play on the batter-runner before he reaches first base is the same as a force play, though the rules do not include this in the definition of a force play.

A force on a runner is "removed" when the batter or a following runner is put out. This most often happens on fly outs—on such, the batter-runner is out, and the other runner(s) must return to their time-of-pitch base, known as tagging up.
