HTBT. Too many things to consider to be accurate.
If I were to give the quick answer it would be no, I would not call interference on the runner for a ball thrown wide of the target that hits him in the back as he is making his way to the dugout after scoring...yes, even though the pitcher could have possibly caught the errant throw and made another play. I see no reason to penalize this runner for the error of the defense. Their throw struck him.
You asked me and I answered. Now, would you penalize a runner who is hit in the back as the result of an errant throw?
