8-7-Q
Q. When a defensive player has the ball, or is about to catch a thrown ball, and the runner remains upright and crashes into the defensive player. If the act is determined to be flagrant, the offender shall be ejected. An errant throw drawing the defense into the path of the runner is not interference.
I agree that if the contact if flagrant then yes they are OUT and I would send the runner to the parking lot.
If this is a situation where there is less then two outs R1 on 3 and the ball is hit to the shortstop and instead of the SS sending the ball to 1 they go home with it the runner may not even expect the play. If it is E Rec Ball thr runner may not even being paying attention.
