The runner made no attempt to avoid the catcher.

Does this help at all?

Emily Lutella would believe that it does.

So, THIS is what we think happened, then?

1) Catcher is in the Baseline w/o the ball
2) Runner did not try to avoid contact but was not malicious

THEN: Runner is out for INT because there was no violins on the part of the runner.

Oh, and you can still only get one out too,
