Interference - placement of other runner
Situation: R2 & R3. A botched squeeze play attempt results in R3 being trapped in a rundown. R3 purposely veers so that a thrown ball strikes him on the shoulder. The ball dribbles away allowing him to scamper home without a play. The umpire calls him for interference. At the time the ball struck him on the shoulder, R2 had already advanced and was standing on 3rd.

Question: Is R2 allowed to remain on 3rd or does he have to go back to 2nd?
