Interp of the Week - Week #2

[Blaine Gallant]

OBR.

Play stands.

Now, we have a ball which hits a runner. The question is did an infielder attempt to play it?

The catcher had a shot, but missed. No other fielder had a shot. Why penalize R3?

Some may question whether the catcher is an infielder in this situation. Well he has to be. I would even rule the same if the pitcher had come down the line and the ball came back through the pitcher.
