Interference Question
High School baseball. One out. R1 is on third base. B2 hits a foul pop up between home and 3rd (About 60 feet down the line, 10-15 feet foul). F5 breaks for the ball as R1 turns around to return to the bag. They collide in foul territory. I believe the ball was catchable with a strong effort by F5.
Please make your ruling. The reason for posting this question is that the Dead Ball table in the NFHS Rulebook (5-1-1) #8 states that interference on a foul fly ball results in the batter being called out with no mention of the runner. Interference by a runner, of course, results in the runner being called out. Please clarify this rule as it regards a foul ball and a collission in foul territory. Thanks.
