R2, R3. Less than two out. Non-FED.

F1 balks but delivers a pitch. F2 interferes with the batter's swing but he hits one toward the gap. F8 makes a spectacular diving catch at the fence. Both runners tag and score.

A. The ball is dead on the catch. Enforce the balk.
B. The coach can take the result of the play.
C. Enforce the CI. Bases loaded (although if this were correct, then answer B would be as well).

There is only one question that ever has to be asked (and it has been expressed in previous posts): Did all base runners AND the BR advance at least one base on the play? Uh, nope - Balk - (A)
