Rule 8-4-2b PENALTY:
Quote:
PENALTY: The runner is out, the ball is dead immediately, and interference is called. On a force-play slide with less than two outs, the runner is declared out, as well as the batter-runner. Runners shall return to the bases occupied at the time of the pitch. With two outs, the runner is declared out. The batter is credited with a fielder’s choice.
We go hunting for another out only when the BR interferes, and then pick the runner closest to home.
