fly ball interference
I think we answered this last year or before; but I can't find it.
USA Rules only, NFHS is very different; probably others.
If a runner interferes with a fielder attempting a fair or foul fly ball which is catchable with ordinary effort; the runner is out and the batter is also out.
8.7.J.3 (1) effect F in the wrong place
--------------------------------
Even if there were two outs before the play, the batter has completed a time at bat, so does not bat in the next inning.
Is that correct, or does that batter appear again?
-----------------------------------
Opinions are no help, already have both sides from very learned sources; need a case or play/clarification documented.
