Overheard a dad describing this situation to a friend.
Runner on 3rd, pitcher standing on rubber. Runner breaks for the plate. Pitcher steps off rubber and throws home to get the runner. Batter thought it was a pitch and bunted it -- successfully ... or so he thought.
Batter got to first safely and the run scored.
Ump called batter interference for not getting out of the way of the play at the plate -- batter out and runner has to go back.
Correct call?
