Warren - Jaksa/Roder and CC support my position. ALL runners advance.
In this thread on eteamz (http://www.eteamz.com/baseball/boards/obrrules/message.cfm?id=45819), CC posted the following (The original question seems to be missing, but note the use of 7.07)
2. The catcher jumps in front of the batter, receives the pitch, and tags the runner. Balk AND catcher's interference. R3 scores on the balk; B1 goes to first because of the catcher's infraction. (OBR 7.07)
= = = =
In chapter 14 on Catchers Interference of J/R, Roder writes: Runners who are not forced and were not stealing must return to their TOP base. Exception: If an R3 was stealing, all runners are awarded their advance base (7.07).
The bolded Exception is as it appears in the book and not my attempt to point it out.
= = = =
They BOTH refer to 7.07 as a valid rule. The J/R exception clearly states that all runners advance if there was a squeeze (R3 stealing)
