Batter's Interference - Right Calls?

Ripken Fan10,000+ posts

Looking for some of the umpires on this site to chime in..son was on both ends of Batter's interference this year (college)

Situation one: 2-2 count, 1 out..batter swings and misses. Runner from first takes off on pitch. Reaches second base well before the throw. Batter called out on swing (strikeout), runner also called out for BI. Third out originally went as CS, changed to putout for catcher. So one swing caused 2 outs.

Situation two: Runner on first . Batter has 2-1 count. Batter swings and misses on outside pitch on hit and run. Batter called out for batter's interference (registered as strikeout, though swing would have made count 2-2). Runner sent back to first.
