The INT above was hands-raised, possibly protecting face. It was interference, rules cites not needed.
BUT, it was a retired runner, already out by the play at second (F6 steps on second for out #2.

In softball, interference by a retired runner is penalized by the active runner closest to home being out. The trailing runner, such as the BR is out of the INT is by an active runner.

Hence, my question about why the run did not count as the runner from third reached home before the INT. The runner closest to home at that point would be the runner from second.
