sprivitor,
"Spectator interference cannot be called for yelling and screaming and can only be called if they reach for the ball, go on field, etc. In my experience, spectators usually become unruly when their team is losing. At that point, as authorized under 9.01 (f), send the teams to their dugouts until it is halted. If your league sets time limits on the games, then peer pressure will help halt the situation as their team will be losing precious time."
That's a great suggestion if the spectator/s doing this are for the team that is behind, it would be a real disadvantage if the field was cleared while the clock was ticking and the spectator responsible was rooting for the team that was winning.
