While two Umps have different views on this situation , both may be right .
It is a judgement call as to interefence or not . If have two outs you will get spewed over by 1 team . If you have no outs and play on , you will get spewed over by the other team . If you have dead ball runner out and BR safe both teams will accept ( maybe ) If you have dead ball BR out and place R back on first you are wrong ( no rule sets dictate this ) but probably both teams will accept it . The point here is if you are confident with your rules and can back that up by a sound explanation and it is a judgement call you are right . |

So Outham you obviously have INT .
The runner stopped a play by a fielder did they ? If the runner hadnt caught the ball it would have flew out to centrefield who had no chance to make an out , so where is the INT ? |

The following situation doesnt apply at all to an INT call, but it does illustrate how things "happen" on the field which may not necessarily be INT even if it was a runner and a batted deflected ball:
I'm hooked in for a play at 2B, about 6 feet in on 2B. HARD Throw from outfield deflects off of tip of F6's glove and hits me square in on the right cheek of my face. Luckily all my teeth stayed in my head because I got popped good. I wasnt quick enough to defend myself on that play and took the shot in my face. The point is, a deflected ball coming at a runner may result in a defensive action which may or may not be interference. You still must judge intent on a deflection here. Was there intentional interference or was she just acting in a defensive manner? In either case, maybe it's INT, maybe not. Because of the way it is worded, I would say I lean heavily towards INT on this play.. it sounds bone headed of the runner to catch a ball that "pops" to her "instinctively" and then drops to the ground. A deflected batted ball is not the same as a batted ball which hasnt passed infielders. Would you guys be calling the play differently if it was worded: ---------------------------- 1. Runner at first no outs. Hard liner at first baseman runner has taken lead, ball deflects off of glove and smashes the runner in the face. 2. Runner at first no outs. Hard liner at first baseman runner has taken lead, ball deflects off of glove; the runner raises her hand preventing the ball from hitting her, the ball hits her hand and drops to the ground.
