At least that is what is in the mind-set of this high schoool umpire
with the recent Federation parameters !
The runners job is to run to the next base. The runner cannot be expected to know a ball changed direction or have eyes in the back of their heads.

The ONLY way I can call this INT is if, in my judgment, the runner actually did something to cause the INT.
