another infield fly situation

[MRD]

Little League Baseball. R1 and R2. Infield fly hit to 1B. R1 collodes with First Baseman who drops the ball. R1 then advances to 2B. Ruling was to call batter out and also R1 for interference on the fielder. Is this correct? Thanks

...and, the ball is dead on R1's interference, unlike the usual IFF situation. If R2 advanced, he must return.

What if the ball was over fair territory when the INT occurred, then bounced foul? Remember, F3 was going to catch it in fair territory if the INT did not occur.

Do you still have two outs, or just one because the ball went foul, and you're going to pull back the IFF call?

The ball never went foul. The ball was dead the instant that Interference occurred. nothing after that matters.
