Help with an interference call.

[TussAgee11]

7.09 It is interference by a batter or runner when...

e - Any batter or runner who has just been put out or any runner who has just scored hinders or impedes any following play being made on a runner. Such runner shall be declared out for the interference of his teammate.

2 things in there - (1) you need the hindering or impeding (presumably of a fielder, the rule doesn't say but we know from 2.00 what constitutes interference) (2) There needs to be a potential following play being made on a runner to enforce this rule.

You MUST project what would have happened had that hindering and impeding not happened in regards to a play on another runner... its right there in the rule. Sorry for being blunt, I just don't see how this rule doesn't apply to the OP and how it should be applied or judged any different. It seems clear as day, to me, when I read this language.
