Sitch.. Catcher, after receiving pitch, comes up throwing , trying to pick off R1. F2 , in his throwing motion, makes contact with me, on my chest protector. Throws goes into right field. R1 makes it to third.
I come out.."Time, we got umpire INT, runner, back to first".
Looking in my College book, I find the rule, but it doesnt seem to go far enough. Rule 6-3a mentions the PU interfering with the "catcher's attempt to throw anywhere".. and runners return. I dont see anything about "if the throw retires the runner". Its mentioned on Batters INT, but not Umpires INT....am I missing something in there?

The ball is immediately dead on the interference and runners return. The catcher's throw is irrelevant, since the ball is dead.
The heading (Delayed Dead Ball - Runners Return or Advance) is misleading. The rule should be in Section 2.
