Two runs actually scored on the play because the runner from 2B kept going and scored. They required only the second run to return to 3B, not the first.

My OBR and my HS coaching days might be colliding, but I seemed to be under the impression that when you have Interference - that nobody can advance. So in this instance, my interfering runner is out, the batter is out and the runners should have returned to both 2nd and 3rd.

When I asked the umpire after the inning, and said "Im not complaining, but curious" - they said the run scored because the runner crossed home before the interference occurred, which Im not 100% that was true either, but didnt seem to think that was relevant.

If this was HS, and this was a FPSR violation, then runners return TOP -- you would be right and the umpires would be wrong.

Otherwise, runners return to TOI.
