R2 interferes with F4, such as knocking it out of her hand/glove while being tagged. That would be the limited way to get the BR out.

Once the runner is retired, it is always runner closest to home.

I have never called the "intentional interference on a double play", and I've umpire a variety of JO, adult slow and adult fast.
I didn't say retired runner about double play; and you reminded me that I never called it either. Maybe I should have left it out.
Do you think it could happen on a slide, legal or other wise?
