Hi, all.
The above sounds right to me, too. Thought I'd add the references (OBR).
2.00 - Interference (b - Defensive Interference)
- batter was prevented from attempting to hit pitch
- the ball is
dead, unless a play is in progress (5.10(h), 6.08(c))
6.08 (c) - Penalty for defensive interference with batter
- batter entitled to 1st, without liability
- if a play is in progress, allow it to finish: the offensive manager may be entitled to an option on this play
7.04 (d) - Stealing runners are entitled to one base, without liability.
And yes, if this were instead a squeeze play, 7.07 would apply and this would be a
balk, with all runners advancing, whether stealing or not!
Oh, and if I missed something here, someone please tell me (like anyone needs an invitation...)
