				I'm confused.  You called interference on a non-player (R2) which made R1 out because he was the lead runner.  Where was the interference? Seems to me that F3 made a judgement error.

				If I understand this correctly, BR hits slow roller to F4, BR beats throw to 1B but only steps on white bag.  Therefore, BR is called out on live ball appeal since F3 touched 1B before BR returned to...

				R2 safe at 2nd and run scores.    
  
LBR is off when pitcher throws to second.  Personally, I'm giving some latitude on LBR if F1 and R1 are in a staring contest especially if F1 has arm cocked.  Now,...
