Well, I haven't done U-trip since the mid-90s, but you have one of three options: interference by a runner who has already scored, a blocked ball situation (offensive equipment, not defensive), or nothing.

I had a similar situation where a throw from the outfield to 3B was off. It bounced off the on-deck batter's foot and popped up into the air, where the pitcher caught it cleanly. The pitcher threw to home and nearly got the runner going home. If anything, the little tap aided the defense instead of hindering, so I ruled that nothing happened.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
