Is this possible? I know he missed it when he didn't kill the play but how can the runner remain at second? 7.09 f says they both should be called out but 6.05 m is worded differently and only rules the batter out.

I'm assuming FED rules? But if interference is called on this play it should result in a DP - the FPSR.
But, hard to believe he would call interference on R2 and then allow him to stay on the bag.
What did the runner do to cause interference would be my question especially since the F4 was off the bag. The only thing I can think of would be an illegal slide.
Strange play
