Permit me to re-visit this old thread.
ASA rules
Batted ball deflected off of pitcher. Runner unintentionally contacts F4 while she is attempting to field the deflected ball. BU (who is well regarded and does area High School games) rules an out. I suggested that if there was no intentional contact, then play on.
Here is what I found from Bretman in a separate thread.
Rule 8-7-J(4)
On a deflected batted ball, the runner would be out for interference only if:
a) the interference is intentional, and; b) the defender still has a chance to make an out with the batted ball.
From what I have read, he is correct for High School ball and I am correct for ASA.
Is my interpretation correct?
