Unless there was a request for help from the PU, the BU can't just declare the ball to be a strike and rule the now batter-runner out.

But Tom, if the player is still a batter, she cannot become a batter-baserunner unless the PU surrenders the call, which he didn't, the way I read it. If you're not a batter-baserunner, you can't be called out for interference unless there is another runner on base and you impede the progress of a play on that runner. That wasn't mentioned here.

Yeah, I know. I was just reaching for some straw where his explanation might have made some kind of sense (still wrong, but at least you'd know where he was coming from).
