Man on first 1 out. Runner runs into second baseman who is camped under the ball. Umpire shows a fist for a delayed dead ball interference call. The ball falls to the ground, is picked up by the second baseman, and thrown to the shortstop at second. The batter/runner is safe at first. The ruling was: Batter/runner is out on the interference, the runner is out on a 4-6 force play because he chose to run. Since the batter/runner is out on the interference call wouldnt the runner at second need to be tagged out? The call seems to be only partly correct.
