The softball rule is irrelevant. The OP posted the play here to learn the baseball ruling on a comparable play. I would invite further discussion of softball plays to move to the softball forum.

In baseball, it's interference. The only exception to the "fielder has the right of way on a batted ball" provision concerns a fielder who misplays the batted ball himself:

"A fielder is not protected, except from intentional contact if he misplays the
ball and has to move from his original location." (8-4-2g)

The deflected ball is still a batted ball, and the runner must still avoid contacting or otherwise interfering with the fielder.

It is relevant in that the OP did follow-up with a post that further referenced the NCAA softball game outcome and stated that he "would love to know what should have happened".

Well, now he knows...

You're right. He should have posted that question in the softball forum.

Does that mean we need to move Chuck's thread over here?

You're being facetious, but why would we? You wouldn't distinguish a topical thread in the wrong forum from an off-topic thread in the right one?

I was just fascinated with how quickly y'all policed that off-sport question.
