Intentional or not?

I was looking at the differences in runner interference between ASA and FED. I looked at the spreadsheet on Amateur Softball Association of America (ASA) and it says that interference with a thrown ball does not have to be intentional. However the FED rule book says....

The runner interferes:

d. intentionally with a fielder or thrown ball.

Now I interpret the "intentionally" to go with both phrases so it would read as "intentionally with a fielder or intentionally with a thrown ball". Is that not correct? Is it normal writing practice to apply a modifier to two phrases joined by an "or"?
