R3 and R2 score easily and R1 is hustling to try and score. A relay comes in and the throw coming into the plate hits the bat and bounds out of play. BR is standing on 3rd as ball goes out of play. Tricky situation go ahead and make the call, and place all runners!
The poster insists that NCAA and NFHS rules will result in an interference call on the batter for throwing a bat into the field of play that interferes with a fielder trying to make a play. This would result in Batter out and runners returning.
By OBR and MLBUM this is nonsense.

Poster is dead wrong in both (and all BB or SB) codes. This is not interference - this is a ball thrown out of play.
