From the travelling circuit...

Had a fellow ump bring up this sitch:

R1 @ 3rd, B1 squares up to bunt to squeeze R1 home. As B1 attempts to bunt, F2 (C) gloves the bat, causing catcher's interference. Ump's interp: Apply BOTH catcher's interference [B1 gets first base] and a balk to pitcher [R1 gets home].

Talked to my assignor about the same play, he says only one or the other - not both - can be applied (something about giving the offensive team what they deserve).

Who's right?
