Catchers Interference Help
Am Leg Sr. level, OBR rules with Am. Leg modifications.
R2, R3, 0 outs
Batter swings hits catchers mask and hits ball down to F5. R3 breaks for home, F5 throws home. Ball sails over catchers head but R3 retreats back to 3rd. Ball stays in play. Now R1, R2, R3, 0 outs
Help me please with this play. I'm not sure this went according to the rules. Is the interference nullified as long as BR reaches 1st base, or is it nullified as long as BR and all others advance at least one base.
Second question.
Field had large openings between backstop and dugout area (~25ft). If ball is thown out of play what becomes of all the offensive players.
Thanks for all your help. I was greatly confused when this happened largely due to my partner not calling it (I was BU) but not sure about the situation until the catcher left the field because the mask was now broken.
