I agree with Zebra but I don't know that there is a softball definition for a muffed ball (football, ok). However, whether you call it muffed or dropped, a play was made on the ball and, as long as there is not other defensive player in a position to make a play I have no call. However if the catcher, or second baseman, or anyone else is in the vacinity of the play and can make a play with reasonable effort, I have interference.
