However, I would rule in the same manner. Defense needs to know the circumstances surrounding the play.

I seem to recall a rule book exception that int cannot be called on the D3K situation. I don't keep rule books at the office but I am pretty sure that I read and I believe that Atlumpsteve provided the appropriate commentary on another thread back in Feb or March.

My point at the time was that running on K2 was not the same as running on the D3K when not entitled. Steve said that the information provided when the rule was changed indicated that the intent of the change was to keep Int from being called when the batter ran on the wrong pitch.

If someone has a rule book and can cite a rule (Fed or ASA) that would be helpful.
