OBR 6.08.c Approved ruling:
If the catcher interferes with the batter the batter is awarded first base. If, on such interference a runner is trying to score by a steal or squeeze from third base, the ball is dead and runner on third scores and batter is awarded first base. If the catcher interferes with the batter with no runner trying to score from third on a squeeze or steal, then the ball is dead, batter is awarded first base and runners who are forced to advance, do advance. Runners not attempting to steal or not forced to advance remain on the base they occupied at the time of the interference.
