They are both possible calls, depending on a judgment if a play was possible. If a play is possible, as judged by the umpire, 8-6-18 (NFHS) and 8.7-P (ASA) describe the ruling. If the umpire judges no play (thus no interference), then you shouldn't let the situation continue and develop to where a later play might be possible.
