Runner interference with no slide

[DaveASA/FED]

I see your logic, but IMO there are two different things. Making a play on her is one thing, fielder has ball trying to tag runner IMO is making a play on her. And also IMO illegal contact is more than a brush, it is contact that is above and beyond nudging. But in your case IMO the fielder was not trying to make a play on the runner, she was trying to catch a ball, and then make a play on the runner. I see it as two seperate acts. Maybe I am wrong but that is how I see it. Also, books are in car, but I remember some wording that for interference to be called that the runner must intentional interfere with a thrown ball.
