Interference by retired runner

I had one this past HS season. Play at plate with off line throw that took F2 essentially to 3B extended position, about 10+ ft beyond the plate. As F2 is beginning throw to 2B to make a play on the BR, R3 runs into F2 - simple call - interference by runner who has scored.

I had one as well at the end of the high school season that was a HTBT, but I probably should have called it but didn't. I posted it on one of the other boards and the others thought it was incidental though so who knows.

In short, a runner that scored ended up standing next to the ball that deflected off the catcher on the throw home. Another runner was advancing from 2nd to 3rd as this happened. The catcher double-clutched after picking the ball up because of the scored runner being in front of him and the runner going to third slid in safely. The catcher ended up throwing it.

I don't think that meet's dash's request. As I read it, he's looking for a play where a runner who has scored is CALLED OUT. In your play, the runner has interfered, but the runner on whom the play was being made (BR) will be called out.

The only example I can give is a FPSR violation in FED. There, even if the runner has scored, the FPSR violation takes precedence, and the run is negated.

I knew it was in there someplace. Thanks Bob.
