LL playoff game. R3 and 2 out. Passed ball to the backstop. R3 heads home. LH batter wandering in front of his batter's box, pitcher coming in from that side to cover plate, cannot get there due to batter being in the way. Catcher tosses ball to spot where pitcher would have been if batter not in the way. Would have been a close play at the plate (although not necessarily relevant). PU calls batter interference, 3rd out, and at start of next at bat for offensive team, has same batter up to the plate (i.e., R3, not batter, called out for the interference). Called on correct player? Is it interference at all? (Rule 6.06(c) applicable?) Thanks for any insight.
