8.4.2 Situation G: In the opinion of the umpire, R1, when leading off first base, moves up to the front of the baseline, thus effectively screening F3 from the ball on F1's attempted pickoff. RULING: R1 shall be called out for interference. COMMENT: If this is not ruled to be interference, the runner gains an advantage not intended by the rule. This maneuver taught by some coaches shall be penalized.

Aside: You can make the assumption in FED that cases apply to the Rule-Section-Article use doin the case notation. You can't make any assumptions at a lower level of detail. 8.4.2G applies to some part of 8-4-2, but not necessarily 8-4-2g. There are "Y" cases (plus a comment) in 8.4.2, but only "r" parts to 8-4-2
