USA 8.2.F When the BR interferes:
3. With a thrown ball while out of the batter's box.
NOTE: If this interference is an attempt to break up a double play, the runner closest to home plate shall be called out.
Since the lead runner has been retired, and the BR then interferes with the thrown ball, at this point we have INT and an immediate dead ball.
If we then apply the penalty, who is the runner closest to home plate? NOT the retired runner, right? Who's next? R2?
Just reading the rule and trying to apply as written.
