I know on a BI on a pitch where R3 is stealing it would be R3 that is called out in this situation, however, I had a passed ball where the interference took place.
I called R3 out because R3 was stealing home with less then 2 outs. Was I correct or should I have called batter out and returned the runners? Of course no one argued the call because none of the coaches know any of the rules.  |
I think with less than 2 the batter is out and 2 outs the runner closest to home which this would obviously the play at home. Now if the catcher tags the batter out anyhow it doesnt matter because the hinderence didnt mess with the catcher. However if you think the catcher would have had the tag down to even make it close Id enforce the INT
