Runner interference (NCAA)
Let me preface with ASA, where a runner, leading off 3B, interferes w/F5 fielding a can o' corn fly ball over the Coach's box. Runner out, batter out.
In NCAA, runner out, batter gets charged with foul ball.
There is an old thread here, mentioning an NCAA rules interp conference held by the rules committee. After much harumphing by the umpires, they were told in no uncertain terms that they WILL rule this way, or they will find another line of work.
Can anyone remember if this was the game situation that was being discussed?
