What if...

Fed rules.

7-2-5 Penalty

The batter shall not:

Interfere with the catchers fielding or throwing

If the pitch is a 3rd strike and in the umpires judgment interference prevents a possible double play (additional outs) interference prevents a possible double play (additional outs). two may be ruled out.

1 - 2 count. R1 stealing 2d. B2 swings and misses, then interferes with F2's attempt to retire R1. Umpire judges a possible double play.

Ruling: B2 is out for strike 3. R1 is out for interference.

Question: Is there a scenario of this sitch where the R1 would not be called out for the interference?
