Runner on 2nd, batter hits a ground ball in gap
between F7 and F8. Runner from 2nd rounds and
touches 3rd , scores. However, 3rd base coach is
uncertain runner touched third and yells for her
to return. F6 receives relay throw and instead of
throwing to F4 to get BR who made wide turn at 2nd,
throws to F5 at 3rd in time to tag the retreating
runner who is attempting to return to 3rd.
We allowed the run to score since she had already
touched the plate.
Should interference have been called on the returning
runner? If so, would the run have scored and the
closest runner to home now be out? Think I have seen
this somewhere, but unable to find it.
