All these preposterous plays in which a run scores on a pop that would have been foul except for interference or in which a batter deliberately interferes with a fielder and thus wins the game could not happen if ASA had made a sensible rule.

It seems like a perfect case for 10-1-L, except that the test specifically says score the run.

Incidentally, what would Fed softball rule on Question #39?

It is interesting to me that even if the play in Question #39 had started with 1 out, the run would still count. When BR was called out for interference, the force was removed on R2. So the third out is a time play and the run would score.

ASA does not recognize "flagrant misconduct," except as USC, but even if the umpire invokes USC, the result is the same.
