[UmpJM]

yankeesfan,

If the play you seen happened in the last day or so (Angels vs. Blue Jays perchance), I believe the call was actually umpire interference, not batter interference, in which case the rule was properly enforced.

If, on the other hand, it actually was ruled batter interference, the proper ruling would have been to call the batter out and return the runner (assuming the catcher's throw did not result in the stealing runner immediately being tagged out) - in both FED and OBR.
