				runner interference clarification
			 
			
			Rule 8-7-J-1 says runner out for interfering "with a fielder attempting to field a fair batted ball".  J-2 and J-3 are about throws. With no intervening wording about deflection or exception: Rule 8-7-J-4 says "Intentionally with any defensive player having the opportunity to make an out with the deflected batted ball". Ignoring the inconsistent grammar, is there a rule cite or published clarification for: - separating deflected from any batted ball - why J-4 requires intent - why J-1 does not apply to all batted fair balls, regardless of deflection?
