Interference?

[sodo]

Good point - still not sure what I would call. What would happen if the batter was just hustling out of the box to the dugout and makes contact? I guess what has me thinking is that it was all incidental. Bad part is if the batter had any baseball knowlege he would not have taken off, but in summer leagues you see it all.

I did contact an official who does state clinics and he agreed that it should have remained a live ball. Funny part was that a HS coach was in the other dugout and thought I was nuts for saying live ball until the other guys in the crowd backed me. Hate to think we were all wrong as we are all licensed.
