Would you cite where you goy the NCAA interp?
BTW, I agree I would call CI in reviewing the video. But I have had a steal of home with a wild pitch that hit me and the catcher was definitely in front of the plate trying to catch it. No swing by the batter. No call except safe and ball. It's an interesting situation that you can know the rule but when it happens you rule differently.

It's on the central hub in one of the interpretation meetings.
