So talking with the DC after the dust had settled he tried to sell me "interference for a retired runner drawing a throw". Nice verbiage coach . He wanted another out because the throw to F6 prevented them from making a play on the BR who had rounded 1B in the middle of all this. I wasn't buying it though. Then I got to thinking maybe he had a point..
Would you have come up with another out for the drawing a throw ?

Can't speak for NFHS, but... ASA states that a retired runner drawing a throw can be INT as per rule 8-7-P. HOWEVER. There has to be a possible play on another runner who is not out for you to call INT. If the runner on 3B had taken off for home or the runner now on 1B had taken off for 2B, then you would have INT, IF if affected the defense's ability to make a play.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!
Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!
I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.
