Who's out on steal home??
Had a situation last night where I'm not sure I called the right person out.
R2, R3, 1 out. Passed Ball that the catcher chases after, runners steal on the passed ball, batter backs out of the box right into the path of the catcher who is running back to plate to try and tag R3 as he slides home. I know on a BI on a pitch where R3 is stealing it would be R3 that is called out in this situation, however, I had a passed ball where the interference took place. I called R3 out because R3 was stealing home with less then 2 outs. Was I correct or should I have called batter out and returned the runners? Of course no one argued the call because none of the coaches know any of the rules. |

With two outs, the batter is out on an attempted steal of home. With less than two outs, R3 is out. -Josh |

I'll assume you meant "tag R3 out." I would not use that as my only barometer. If the INT happens, I'll call it (and I could see contact without interference, but likely the play is going to call itself and I'm not going to wait for the outcome of the tag to decide). Part of the penalty is to return R2 to second, so it makes a difference. With less than 2 outs, R3 is out. Return R2 to second. With 2 outs, the batter is out. Of course, this lets me drag out the old video of me making this call in a D-3 game at Miller Park: http://fronheiser.net/interference.mov Last edited by Rich; Fri Jun 13, 2008 at 10:30am. |

Less than 2 out, R3 out for BI, other runners return TOP (no one can score on BI)

Glad to see I made the right call.
Here's a twist to the situation: Bases loaded, 1 out. All runners stealing on the pitch, wild pitch that goes to the backstop, R3 scores easily, R2 attempts to steal home and the BI is called as R2 is attempting to score. What do you have? R3 scores, R2 out and R1 back @ first?? R2 out and R3 and R1 back at their TOP bases?? Last edited by tibear; Fri Jun 13, 2008 at 10:59am. |

That's the way that I would see it also. The BI is mainly protecting the catcher on an immediate play. Once the first runner has scored, then it simply becomes interference. By the way, I love the video Rich - especially the guy who hollers out "learn the rules" That was a very strange play. THanks David |

Using your logic here would the original play that I had last night be BI or straight interference because R3 wasn't stealing on the pitch but rather the passed ball??? Either way R3 would have been out but may have a difference on the placement of the other runner. (Changes from TOP to TOI) |
