BR collides with F3 after catch

[markrischard]

Ball is dead on the interference, so the run can't score. Since there was not a play on the runner absent the interference, I'd send her back to 3rd. 2 outs.

If you kill the ball for interference then you have to get the corresponding out.

If the runner at 3B was really alert she would have stayed right on the bag to make sure there was no play to interfere with.

Youngump, that would be expecting R@3 to think like an umpire. Perhaps the coach should have known that, but the runner?

Why would they stay on the bag after the 1st baseman falls down? What do they have to lose? I can tell you what they have to gain--a run scored if the interference call is not made.

Agree. Too much to expect from a kid.....and 99% of coaches.
