I attended a NFHS clinic in Aberdeen, MD last night and the interpretation was that the runner outside the 3' lane would be out for interference if hit with a thrown ball to first.
I still don't agree with the call, but that is the Fed interpretation.
On the other hand, there is always the judgement that the catcher intentionally threw the ball AT the runner. It could cause injury to a player. Sounds like unsportsmanlike conduct to me. Get me a new catcher, coach.
