I would be somewhat lenient about what constituted a "play" in this interp, but the general idea is correct.

I would also address the sportsmanship issue here.

Yessir: in FEDball this is one of two things that constitute the very definition of "Malicious Contact". BR is OUT and done [EJ].
And if I can see a "play" on another runner and not embarass myself, I'm getting that 2d out; but most of the time there is not gonna be a play that passes the grin test.
