Do we say that the B-R is out (or rather R2 is out, because he is closest to home, and the B-R is out anyway) because of interference, or do we let the play stand, claiming that the players should know the rules and the situation? |
The play stands - that's nothing but a DMC - dumb move by the catcher.
