Thanks Dave....no I think I'm reading the BRD correctly. It has that same passage regards 5-3 in there. It is pretty clear though in play 132-282:
R1 on 1B, B1 pops out to F9, B1 continues to advance to 2B, F9 thinking that is R1 throws to 2B wildly...throw goes into DBT: RULING - Fed you put R1 at 3B, NCAA & OBR you call out R1. They refer to your same language of 5-3 with an official interpretation dated 11/19/90 that says "if a retired runner continuing to advance hinders a following play, the umpire must judge whether the hindrance was intentional" I suspect they rightly are saying if B1 keeps running around the bases when he damn well knows he's out that would be "intentional" and if that causes the defense to play on him then that is interference and we bang R1...but apparently NOT so in Federation play....ergo my concern/problem with the high school ruling as opposed to college or MLB.
