You Make The Call

Suppose with bases loaded and one out, the BR hits a one-hopper to F6's left and falls down in the batter's box. F6 steps on 2B and takes his time to make sure of the throw to 1B, with BR just a few steps down the line. The runner from 3B crosses the plate. The runner who was on first then catches F6's throw before it gets to F3. Technically, the runner from 2B is out and the run scores, but I'm going to call the BR out and nullify the run.

Question: Is a runner who has crossed home plate still a runner?? Seems to me that there is more teeth in the argument that she can't be called out since she isn't a runner anymore. B/R out because of the interference. Don't count the run.

JMHO
