Right, the fake bunt part is just where it seems to happen most often. A lot of the time where I think I might have interference on the batter, the runner is not moving so, the batter is not interfering with anything-correct?

This was a USSSA World Series. This week, the same park is hosting a NAFA World Series. I am going to the umpire meeting this afternoon and I will bring this up to the Regional UIC.
