Interference

1 out, runner on 2nd.

Sharp hit ball, runner on second holds and then takes off. 1st baseman touches 1st base to retired the BR. 1st baseman tries to make a play at 3rd. The retired BR and 1st baseman collide.

It was in my judgment that the retired BR interfered with the 1st baseman, and in my judgment could have made an out at third.

I ruled the runner at 3rd out as well due to the interference.

Your thoughts?

Also, as a retired runner, are they entitled to anything?

Thanks.
