Runners on 1st and 3rd. R1 steals on the pitch. F2 throws to F6. F6 catches ball behind the bag and immediately throws back to F2 in an attempt to put out R3 stealing home. (Double steal, duh.) Here's the twist. R1 waves his hands in the air as F6 releases the ball. Result is interference on R1 but what if at the time F6 released the ball R3 was within a step from home making it obvious that with or without the interference the runner would have scored no matter what. Do we throw umpire judgement (R3 would've scored anyway) in here or stick with the intereference call and disallow the run? Should I not be thinking so much and just call it like it is or are there situations like this where you overrule the rule? Suggestions/comments please.
