Qustion: If I have a base runner on 3rd base, with 2 outs. The ball is pitched, the batter swings and misses (by about a foot I might add). The ball glances off the catches glove, hitting her knee pads and bouncing into the field toward 2nd basemen, the defensive team isn't even paying attention. So I send the runner home from 3rd base. The batter at this time, realizes the ball is in play, takes off running for 1st base. (The runner later says that she thought she hit it). The runner going home scores, on a thow and missed tag at home by the 2nd baseman. The Umpire calls the batter running to 1st base out, he says it is interference???? She wasn't technically even in the play, and the defensive team didn't even make a play on her. They chose to try and throw the girl out at home. Was this the right call ???? I have no idea, so I didn't argue it with the umpires????
Can anyone let me know. Thanks in advance
