with less than 2 out (which is what you stated in the original post) if the catcher's first throw does not retire the runner, then the batter is out and the runner returns to first.

what you did fail to metion was the count. if the pitch to the batter was strike 3 and the catcher's first throw did not retire the runner, then the batter would be out on strikes, and the runner would be out for the batter's interference.

What does this mean, "first throw?" How many throws do you give your catchers?
