B recieved the ball with clean hands so they are going to keep it, because they ended up with the ball. B is guilty of illegal batting (kicking) which is a 15 yard penalty. The penalty happened at the A's 45, which was the end of the first run, and the end of the second run was the 50. Because the penalty occurred during a loose ball, it should be enforced from the previous spot (?). Would that be where B intercepted, or would it be A's 45, or the 50. I'm unsure. But if I were in the heat of the moment, I would enforce the penalty from the 50. Making it 1st/10 for B from B's 35.
