SA,

I am still trying to figure out why you insist on creating an artificial out in the original situation. I explained in detail, as did others, that what the batter did by accidently releasing the bat and striking the catcher on a ball hit to the outfield did not constitute interference, and interference would have been necessary in order to call the batter out.

Grasp that, and you will see that no out can be created, as the rules do not allow it in the given situation.

You can certainly make up scenarios in which you can get an out, but the situation we have been discussing ad nauseum is not one of them.
