If a batter, whose position is IN THE BATTER'S BOX must vacate (anywhere at all) to not interfere, in what world can we assume that the batter-runner, who has a defined responsibility (go to first base) need not?
No immediate access to rules, but I'm making an interference call if batter-runner interferes with the "play".
Not likely I am seeing obstruction, either; batter-runner should have been long gone, and any delay getting to first (it's a walk, an awarded base, for criminy sakes!!) is her fault. Okay, no rule support there, it is surely not defined as an approved exception to the rule; but neither does batter and catcher colliding when catcher is fielding a batted ball meet the definition of NOT interference (yet we are understanding to let that go).
