Question 34.
The runner is out for interference and the ball is dead immediately in all of the following, EXCEPT:

A: When a fielder is attempting to field a batted fair ball.
B: When a fielder is attempting to throw the ball.
C: When a runner is hit with a thrown ball.
D: When a runner physically assists another runner.


Are not both C and D correct answers to this question? Merely being hit by a thrown ball is not interference, it must be an intentional act by the runner. And runners are legally able to assist another runner.

In a nutshell. In A,B,and C if you rule interference then the runner is out and the ball is dead immediately because each case can be ruled interference. In D you better not be ruling interference because it can't be.
