runner closest to home
 
Two plays:
1) No outs, R1 on third, R2 on second. Batted ball to SS, who threw to first, muffed by first baseman, BR safe, ball rolled toward fence. Coach interfered with fielder going for the ball. R1 had already reached home at the time of interference. Dead ball, R2 is out as runner closest to home. Interference was not intentional.

2) One out, R1 on first, batted ball caught in flight. Fielder threw to first for double play, muffed by first baseman, ball rolled into foul ground. Retired BR interfered with fielder reaching for the ball. Dead ball, R1 out as runner closest to home. Interference was not intentional.

Do you all agree with the rules that were applied?

Assuming there was a play to be made in both scenarios, runner closest to home is out, all others return to last bast touched before INT.
