Is it interference?

I'm going with the out at first.....even thought the runner may have interfered, the out was made.....3 outs no run scores.....

Im not going to over officiate here....if I call the interference, the B/R is out and runners return T.O.I. , so no runs score anyway.........

Make the most straight forward call....

piaa-- I think you may have misread the Q, he said <2 out (i.e. Less than 2 out)...


Did U1 call interference on the BR?

If he did, then it is a dead ball and R3 returns. If he didn't then the play stands. I suppose if the question is, "Should interference be called?" Then this falls into the category of "You had to be there" to say for certain, but it is a judgement call, so whether or not you agreed with U1's judgement, as far as the rules go, he was right in his ruling, either way.

Now what am I going to call?

I guess I'd prolly say that if the deflection off of the BR was so little that it's direction wasn't changed then I'd let the play stand.

Strictly, by the book, it's interference, though.

you are right I missed the < sign........
