Batter Interference
NCAA rules, 1 out, R1, R3. Catcher tries to throw out R1 stealing and is interfered with by the batter. F6 cuts off errant throw and throws home to get R3 trying to score. R1 advances to second on the play at the plate. Where does R1 go?

GerryB,
Assuming the batter had not struck out on the pitch, the R1 goes back to 1B. R3 goes back to 3B, and the Batter goes back to the dugout, because he is out on the BI. If the batter had struck out on the pitch, he still goes to the dugout, the R1 does too because he is out on his teammate's interference, and the R3 returns to 3B. JM

GerryB,
I certainly don't call NCAA games, so I'm not a very good "source" for your question. However, by my read, the rulings I suggested above would still apply to your situation because the Batter interfered with the Catcher's attempted play at 2B, not home. As soon as his immediate throw did not retire the R1 attempting to steal 2B, the ball is dead. That would be at the point in time the F6 caught the catcher's throw. Batter is out, R1 & R3 return to TOP base. If batter had struck out on the pitch, R1 is out on his teammate's interference, and the R3 is returned to 3B. If any of the NCAA knowledgeable posters say something different in regard to your sitch, I would suggest believing them rather than me. JM

CoachJM...I also agree with your posting...but I, like you do not work NCAA...but rather Junior College...but this situation would also apply to FED and OBR...I think...don't have the rules w/ me today to cite...but I'm pretty sure all three align with this rule. And, like CoachJM...I will wait for some NCAA guys to post on here...(I'll come back when I grow up)! LOL!
