Actually, Catcher's interference and Catcher's obstruction are both the same thing and are used interchangeably depending on the set of rules you are calling. Both are correct in this case.

Could you name a set of softball rules (remembering that this is the Softball Ofiicial Forum) that defines catcher's interference? In the 4 sets available to me (ASA, NFHS, NCAA, and ISF), the term is only catcher's obstruction.
By definition, interference is an act by an offensive player, and obstruction is an act by a defensive player. How could you have interference, then, by the catcher?
