And also like the NCAA rule wording better.
Going along so well and then you have to ruin it.

Quote:
The batter runner may not interfere with the catchers attempt to field a third strike.
I hope that isn't the exact wording.

Note: "If both players actions are appropriate to the situation and contact could not be avoided, it is inadvertant contact and neither interference or obstruction".....(which leans to your intent idea)....and goes on to say
This sounds more like physical contact between the players

That's more like it.
