Pitcher comes in to cover plate, catcher gets ball, turns and throws without even looking, completely misses the pitcher and actually hits the batter in the leg clear over at the fence. Throw didnt come within 10' of the plate. For what ever reason I dont understand, the batter reaches down and picks up the ball, almost at the exact instant the runner crossed the plate and tosses ithe ball to the catcher. No other defensive players had come in on the play, so there was absoltely no chance that any play on the runner could have been made.

No play, so no interference. Dead ball. Run scores or not depending on timing.
