Kyle:

Read my post above your last one. The batter is now a batter-runner, and for the purposes of interference calls, a runner who interferes is called out. This is the J/R ruling and penalty for batter-runners interference.


J/R

Section IV: Penalizing Runner and Batter-Runner; Interference and Placing Other Runners

A. Penalization

A runner who interferes is declared out unless, as a result of preceding action, he is already out, then the other runner being played against is declared out. If no other runner is being played against, "weak" interference applies; that is, the ball is dead and runners must remain at their last legally touched base.

If a runner who is not yet out, deliberately interferes with a batted ball or a fielder trying to field, with the obvious intent of breaking up a double play (two offensive players are put out as a result of continuous action), he is declared out, and so is the batter-runner. If such interfering runner is already out, a triple play may be enforced. A runner involved in a possible double play must make a legitimate effort to reach and stay on a base, or risk being out for interference, and the out of the Batter-Runner as well.

If a Batter-Runner intentionally interferes to prevent a possible double play, he is out, and the runner of greatest advance (closest to home) is also declared out.

When runner or batter-runner interference occurs, the ball is dead.



Tim.
