#97 Domestic Dispute!

The referenced CB Play is 8.2.22

R1 is on 3B, R2 on 1B with no outs and the batter has 0-ball, 2-strike count. On the next pietch, the batter strikes out as R2 steasl 2B. The batter interferes with the catcher's throw to 2B as THEY walk to the 1B dugout and R2 is safe.

RULING: This is interference by the batter after they were out. R1, the runner closer to home, should also be ruled out. R2 is sent back to 1B. (8-2F; 8-6C; 1-INTERFERENCE)

Hope that helps.

Yep, That's it. We hunted for that one for hours, but kept missing it. One of us kept saying with with INT there has to be an out somewhere. The other was hung on the retired batter not being a batter/runner, or runner!

Thanks Mike.




Oh, BTW, I'll have to tell the wife THEY was right!
