What would you rule on this....
R1 on 3B, B2 squeeze bunts and the ball is spinning backwards toward home plate. As R1 slides safely across the plate their hand contacts the ball in fair territory.
Ruling?

B2 is out, run scores unless B2 did not reach 1B prior to the interference and this was the 3rd out.

Actually, this is a case play (8.8-51) and the correct ruling is
The ball is live, R1 scores and no interference is called on R1 because the contact was unintentional. (8-7P; 5-5)
