R1 and R3 with No outs. Ground ball to SS who flips to 2nd baseman. R1 overslides into fielder who is in the process of throwing the ball wildly to home. I call interference and call R1 and BR out and put r3 back on third.
It is pretty plain in the rulebook (8-4-b Penalty)that we did the right thing but I've been asked by a fellow ump why I did not call R1 out and R3 out. I know there are situations where you have intentional interference with a DP and you can call out the runner closest to home but I find nothing to substantiate calling R3 out in the above situation.
Can anybody shed any further light on this?
Thanks

I have never seen a 6-4-2 double play and quite frankly I think F4 lost his mind in the middle of this play. If the runner on 3B was that important the SS would throw directly home. However, we do have a FPSR violation, 2 outs, and the runner on 3B returns.
