If that, indeed, is the sense of the official ASA interp, then this ranks right up there with the NFHS dodgeball interp, IMO.
WMB - you got it - Dodgeball II.
Same points against it, too - where it the play (out) that was interferred with?
If, say, F2 is dashing to scoop up the ball, F1 is coming home to cover, and the errant (remember a throw that hits an ODB in the ODC is almost certainly errant) throw is knocked away by an ODB not getting out of the way, then I can see where the play / out was.
But just runners advancing? I am having a hard time with that.
