Interference??

[Linknblue]

If she interferes with the throw after she's out she's out for interference. Nothing's automatic. You have to judge whether she interfered on the play. Intentional or not.

The runner has to commit some act of interference, simply being exactly where they are suppose to be while running the bases is not an act of interference. Peeling off and getting in the way of the throw would be an act of interference.

Just a small correction here since a player can't be "out" twice on the same play.....

If a retired runner interferes, then the ball is dead and the runner closest to home is declared out.

So one can just hit the runner to get a DP?

If you want to sit on the bench.

I never said that. The onus is on the offense to not interfere. Period. If in your judgement they do that, award the DP. And interference does not need to be an overt act, it can be a simple omission of action as well. To the OP, this very very rarely happens by the way.


I wish I had a cool signature

And the definition of interference requires some act of interference. Simply being exactly where they are suppose to be is not an act of interference.
