3rd out. Batter comes up again in the bottom of 8th. By then the visitors may score 3-4 runs to go ahead and his at bat can be no more than 1 run.

Now another scenario. If runner is so smart 3B coach is smarter and interferes first....

My question exactly. No matter who interferes, there will be an out recorded. If the coach interferes, then the batter is out no matter what by rule 7.11 since he is the one who the play is being made on. And, if it is intentional, he runs the risk of being ejected by the umpire depending on what he did.

That would be a dumb coach. A smart one lets the runner do it since his batter will be coming back up to hit again.
