My call was this...

Signal delayed dead ball. observe throw to first, BR out. Call dead ball, call R2 out for interference. Run that scored counts because the 3rd out was after the run scored.

I think that an arguement could be made that there was no interference b/c F6 was successful in putting out BR.

Peter - why dead ball immediately?



The ball is dead immediately because it's the rule.

At the end of OBR 7.09
PENALTY FOR INTERFERENCE: The runner is out and the ball is DEAD.


As mentioned you need to know when the ball is delayed dead vs. immediate Dead. Interference is almost always an immediate dead ball.

When interference occurs we do not wait to see what happens (Exception B1 interferes with F2, but F2 makes the play anyway), We call TIME, That's Interference, and Somebody is Out.
