This was asked before but

My guess is you have the out at second before the interference on the force. So one out. Now the offense has put the defense at a disadvantage so they have to be punished somehow - batter has to be out.

If i'm not mistaken you have to reset runners on interference calls.

I would definately wait on the pros though.

It's the Force Play Slide Rule. The ball is dead, both the offending runner and the batter are out, other runners return. Sounds like he got it right.

Dash yes he got it right BUT I'm looking thru Rule 8 and can't find the Force Play Slide Rule.

8-4-2-b PENALTY

Dash Thanks I see it now IN BOLD BLACK LETTERING I must be blind! oops maybe they are right when they tell me that

FPSR is one way to get this result, but it isn't necessary.

Like OBR and NCAA, when the umpire judges that a runner has interfered with the intent to break up a double play opportunity, two outs are declared.

8.4.1 "The batter-runner is out when: .... h. any runner or retired runner interferes (2-21-1, 2-30-3) in a way which obviously hinders an obvious double play;"

8.2.9 shows that sll runners return to the TOP base following interference unless they are forced to advance.

5.1.1.d shows that the ball is dead following interference by a runner.

In FED & NCAA the DP is a given, no umpire judgment is involved (other than for the INT). Not so in OBR. In order to call the batter out in this sitch, you need a "deliberate, unwarranted unsportsmanlike action by the runner in leaving the baseline for the obvious purpose of crashing the pivot man on a double play, rather than trying to reach the base." The fielder gets much less protection under OBR.
