Debeau: So this statement in the IFS Rule book and I believe you have a similar in ASA , is what .
"When after a runner has been declared out the runner interferes with a defensive plays oppurtunity to make a play on another runner the runner closest to home is also out
This is a retired runner rule. By ISF rules your are correct in calling interference, and calling out the runner closest to home.
But you would not be correct under ASA rules (and NFHS). There interference by a retired runner must be intentional. Some would say that a pop-up slide was intentional, but as you described it, I don't see that as an intentional act to interfer or to break up a DP. I would have "no call."
