Do you have interferance
 
SS making a play on a ground ball in front of her at just about the baseline between 2nd and 3rd. Base runner on second is running hard to third and does nothing to avoid contact. SS makes the ground ball catch, but has to pull her upper body back to avoid any possible contact, no contact and all runners are safe. Do you have interferance and if so, who do you call out. thanks

From what you present, I have interference. If in fact I do have interference, it is dead ball, runner that interfered is out, and put batter/runner at first. Dave

Question 1, which rules are you using. Some require contact for INT, some do not.

Question 2, since SS made the ground ball catch, how did the runner interfere? Sounds like to me she didn't in your scenario as SS made the play (caught the grounder w/o any problem). Did R1 interfere with throw?

Question 3, guess it more expands on #2, couldn't the SS have made an easy play? She could have reached out and tagged R1 and got an easy out.

I don't think I have INT on this one. R1 didn't interfere with anything IMO.

Interference with what? The player made the play on the batted ball. Shame on the SS for not tagging the runner or throw to 3B.

The only thing I see here is a DMF.

I can see both sides of this. I hate answering with "HTBT", but I'd need to see it to know for sure what I'd call. I'm Learning towads Irish's side of this though, just as an FYI - but if my partner called INT, I could see that as well.

No contact, play made, runner doing nothing unusual to break up the play. I don't see interference with the info provided.

Also would like to know what Mike asked.

The OP is not INT in my view, unless the fielder was prevented from throwing.

NCAA and AFA require contact.

NCAA is what I was looking for, I'm not familiar with AFA.

It was NCAA, I had no call, but did not feel good about the call. The coach did not like the call because he thought his player should not have to make any evasive movement to avoid contact. thanks for the input

Was it NCAA or just NCAA rules?
