I wondered about why Jeter was placed back on first, thinking that he surely had made second given his leadoff and running on contact.
But, Jeter was correctly placed back at first under MLB rules. If the interference occurs before the batter/runner reaches first base safely, then runners are returned to their base at time of pitch, instead of the base attained at the time of interference. It's a baseball thing... (Rule 2.0, Definition of Terms, Interference, paragraph (a))
