I can only thing of three ways to have umpire inteference.
1 Batted ball hits umpire before passing an infielder or after passing an infielder and another infielder has a play on the ball.
2 A ball lodging in umpire's equipment or uniform.
3 Umpire interfers with catcher's attempt to retire a runner.
Any other contact, wreck, or foul up is just bad luck and a severe ragging for the remainder of the game.
Did I leave anything out?
