If you look at FED rule 8-4-2g it makes mention of intentionally interfering with a throw or a thrown ball. However, if you look at the definition for offensive interference, rule 2-21-1a, it states interferes with, obstructs, impedes, hinders or confuses any fielder attempting to MAKE A PLAY. There is no mention of intent. Is the 2B making a play? Is the 2B hindered? impeded?
just food for thought.
