NFHS Response
I submitted the play to the NFHS and here's their "official" response -
"I ran your situation by a few committee members and got a consensus that since it was touched by the infielder, it is nothing, ball stays in play and what happens is what happens. Had the ball gotten by the first baseman, untouched, and then hit the base runner with the second baseman in position to make a play, we would then have interference." Looks like the deflection was the key, so despite what the FED books say about another fielder having a chance to make a play, this situation is NOT considered interference by the runner. JJ |

He said it's not INT. You said it's not INT. I'm not clear what you're disagreeing with.

I also think it's somewhat a waste of time to contact NFHS when this play is in the case book.

The last sentence had to do with an UNTOUCHED ball though.

No, it didn't. Read the whole post. He is talking only about touched balls. (snickers)

No... he said, "Had the ball gotten by the first baseman, untouched, and ..."
