I seriously don’t understand why the batter would not be out for interference regardless of intent. Maybe I’m confusing softball rules, which I call more than baseball.

Again, here was my situation – runner on third, catcher bobbles the pitch, batter (with 1-1 count) kicks the ball, run comes home and scores.

The rule applies to the batter – who hinders the catcher. He is not yet a batter – runner.

Now, the rules do say a BATTER RUNNER is out when he intentionally interferes with the catcher on a dropped third strike or intentionally interferes with a throw, or thrown ball.

What am I missing?
