GREYMULE:
1. I don't see how the run can be nullified within the rules.
I do, and I explained them.
2. If the IFR is called, everybody in the park knows the BR is out. His continuing to run toward 1B cannot ipso facto be interference. Now if he kept running to 2B and drew a throw, or turned 1B and danced around between 1B and 2B, that's something else. Nothing says that a runner who is put out must stop running or be called for interference.
A batter//runner is out when the infield fly rule is DECLARED.
A runner who continues to run after being declared out may be considered to have committed intereference.
Both of these are stated in the rule book.
In the case sited, any batter runner who is out by rule can also be called for interference if he/she continues to run where a fielder is attempting to make a play.
