ASA mens' fast-pitch game. I'm working plate. Batter bunts a few feet in front of home plate. BR runs about two feet inside the foul line all the way to 1B. F2 gets the bunted ball, starts to throw to F3 at 1B, but hesitates because BR in the way of the throw. F2 then takes a few steps toward the pitcher's mound in order to get a clear throwing lane to 1B and is able to get a throw to F3 just barely beating BR to 1B for the third out.
Between innings, I told BU that I was going to call BR out anyway for interference because he was running inside the foul line all the way to 1B and was in the way of F2 making a throw to 1B. BU tells me that it would not be interference on BR unless F2 actually threw the ball to 1B and it hit BR while BR inside the foul line. Who is right? Was the BU correct when he said that a throw had to have been made before interference could be called on BR?
