As 14loretto was saying, if you stand on the plate, expect to be hit. Tournament time means runs mean more than ever in a district game. You cannot blame the Loretto player for what he did. By the way, no our coach doesn't teach players to take out the catcher. Our coach is one of the best coaches ever, and it's a split-second decision the player must make. I hope the player is ok, but if the only excuse you have for losing that game is one of our players taking out a catcher that was standing on the plate, that's pretty sad.
