Runner on 3rd 1 out,pitched ball gets by catcher & as runner is trying to score B1 just stands in batters box & the thrown ball from catcher to pitcher hits B1.
What is the call? Do you send runner back to 3rd or is B1 out for interference? What would the call be if it were ball 4, or strike 3? This did happened in little league where a runner can advance on a wild pitch or passed ball |

From OBR:
From JEA:
RULING: With less than 2 outs, the runner is out for the batter's interference. In this case, his remaining in the box did interfere with the play. In some situations, the batter's staying in the box may not actually interfere. This requires umpire judgment on each play. Seems pretty cut and dry to me. Provided a fielder had come to the plate area to receive the throw, call out the runner attempting to score for the interference of the batter (runner) during the play at home plate. He should have been long gone anyway. If no fielder came to receive the throw, then the batter didn't really interfere with anything, did he??? Just my opinion, Freix |
