Call I had not seen in 27 years of coaching...

Runners at 1st and 2nd, nobody out. Batter bunts the ball in the air and starts running to 1B, both of the runners do a poor job of reading the ball in the air and get way too far off.

Catcher catches the pop up bunt, batter is out. Catcher then tries to throw to 1B because the runner has gotten too far off and did not tag up, ball hits the batter/runner going up the first base line who has no clue the C caught the ball.

Ball kicks right, runner at 1B gets back to the bag and then takes off for 2B, not really know what is happening and seeing the runner now running to 2B, the runner who was at 2B and was half way when bunt was caught never went back to tag up and just started to run to 3B.

So the runner from first who tagged legally will make it to 2B, however since the runner was supposed to tag left without tagging, are they "occupying" that base? so if you tag the 1b to 2b runner and step on the bag would it be a triple play?

It went for not because umpire killed the ball when he called intereference - he ended up calling the runner going back to 1B out since that was the throw that was intereferred with and even though the runner at 2B who never really tagged up they were allowed to return to 2B.

So then runner at 2B - two outs?

To me, shouldnt of been called dead ball, should of let play proceed then call it after?

Had it played out, what would of been call with runners at 2B?
