INT - How many outs?
R1 on 3B, R2 on 1B, no outs.
B3 hits ground ball to F4.
R2 comes to a complete stop approx 40 feet from 2B (perhaps to avoid running into a tag)
As F4 tosses to F6 covering 2B, R2 re-starts running towards 2B.
1B Coach is hollering "Break it Up, Break it Up!"
R2 gets forced out easily, but as F6 attempts the double play at 1B, but R2 who is now about 10 feet from 2B, raises her hands hindering the throw.
Bottom line: A retired runner commits INT (obviously intentionally) for the purpose of preventing a double play.
Can we get three outs here?
1. R2 forced at 2B
2. R1 out [ASA 8.7.P]
3. BR out [ASA 8.7.J.2] ( which I have a problem with the way it is written)
Or... are #2 and #3 mutually exclusive?
What say ye?
