If I'm reading you correctly, you think the run should score in at least one of the two sitches you posed, possibly both. Why would you think that?

I don't think a run should score in either case since it would have the offensive team profit from it's violation of the rules.
But in ASA Softball in scenario number two the run would count since the interference occured after the runner had crossed the plate.
In scenario number one the umpire could prevent the run by ruling that the interference happened when the batter, out by IFF Rule, kept running, thus moving up the actual interference violation, and also getting a double play.
As I said , the rule as written in ASA regarding intererference, allows a runner to score even if the batter/runner does not reach first base and commits interference.
It needs to be changed to something like the rule in baseball.
That was all I was after.
Thank you
