Rule book specifically states that a batter retired on strikes running toward 1B is NOT interference based on doing so to to draw a throw.

Unless there was a possible play on R1, I think you just have a DMC.

Hang on, Mike. I understand the DMC for making the throw. However, we've got a running lane violation by the retired batter. As I recall, that's interference. Are you saying that the retired batter, running to 1B on the
D3K, can run outside the running lane without threat of a running lane violation?
