"Scouring the net for second opinions, WMB? (I've been following the thread about this play on the NFHS board)."

Not necessarily Brett. I have the answer from the NFHS Rules committee which says that we will call interference on the batter-runner.

However, the same committee member stated that we cannot call interference on a runner under the same circumstances (batted ball over foul territory). The inconsistancy bothers me. Why does the B-R IS OUT rule differ from the RUNNER IS OUT rule?

In that these rules were copied verbatem from the ASA code two years ago I brought up the inconsistancy on this board to get ASA opinions.
