sometimes I just can't leave it alone

This thread just kept bugging me. It seemed there was both a CI call and a balk being called at the same time. While I roger 7.07 I'm inclined to say that it really is the wrong reference. I think the real answer to this sitch is 6.08(c). If you keep digging down to the discussion that follows after note 2,

"If the catcher or any fielder interferes with the batter, the batter is awarded first base. If on such interference a runner is trying to score by a steal or squeeze from third base, the ball is dead and the runner on third scores and the batter is awarded first base."

That seems pretty clear.
