It sounds like this could be classified as a "wreck," where the ball, fielder and runner all arrive at the base at about the same time. No one committed a specific act that's "outside the normal act of playing softball."

I would not call INT on this one. Live ball, runner safe, DMF (dumb move, fielder).

I agree. Once you judge the contact to be "incidental" or a "wreck," there is NO interference.
