Rut - Umpire Responsibilities?

[JRutledge]

"On fly balls to the infield, come inside the infield, call catch/no catch on foul flies up to both bags and fair flies to the left of second base or taken by the pitcher or catcher."

I think you need to look at #6. This is the more clear reference to your argument.

But then again still, there was not interference. We had a malicious contact on the BR with the 1st Baseman. The Pitcher had already caught the ball, or the contact and the catch was almost at the same time. I was not looking at the catch, I was looking the BR. That is why I saw the football block so clearly.

I think I'd defer to page 36 #4-b of the NFHS Umpire Manual for the U1 calling that interference call, and leave U2 free to cover the bag.
