Thrown ball INT ??

Where is "intentional" in the book? I don't see that word in 8.2.F or 8.7/J.

Is it just that any INT has to be an "act"?

This isn't kickball. You can't plunk the runner to get an out.

Couldn't convince me of that considering the plays I've seen in NCAA the past couple of years.

Intentional isn't specified, but as you stated the runner must commit some act that actually interferes with the throw and simply running the bases as they are suppose to is not an act of interference. So short of doing something intentional such as reaching out with a hand to block the throw it is nothing.

And as for my comment about the running lane, I only mentioned it because discussions about throws between home and 1st or 1st and home always seems to bring up some discussion about the running lane.
