I believe it was two years ago that intent was removed. All we need to judge is did the runner interfere. When the rule was changed there was some discussion in my association about this change. Basically the consensus was if the runner is doing what they are supposed to be doing (i.e. legally running the bases) we aren't going to penalize them if they get hit with the ball.
