I never heard IFF called, nor did anyone around me. I was told AFTER the fact by the tournament director that the plate umpire called it right away, so I have to assume thats true.
I believe that the runner never heard it either and it is one reason he was hung out on the baseline and ultimately interfered. BTW, I do agree that he interfered.
I had an umpire on another site say that in MLB rules, there cannot be a double play on an interference call and therefore he believed that the IFF call would be negated by the interference call and the batter would go to 1st, the runner on 1st to 2nd, the runner at 2nd declared out and the runner on 3rd returned to 3B. 2 outs now with no advantage gained.
Seemed like one of those plays that only kids can generate.
