interference?

I need some opinions on this.The old ground ball to second or shortstop with a runner leaving first or second crossing.On the play I just had the runner at first gets in front of the secondbaseman just as the ball is coming and sort of tiptoes and appears to screen her a little and goes by.The ball bounces off the girls glove and everybody is safe.The runner never stopped and only appeared to be avoiding the ball so since I was by myself I let it go.At what point do the rest of you call that interference?

Bob is correct here. If all she was doing was checking-up to avoid being hit by the ball and the ball passed her prior to her passing the infielder, it is nothing.

From the scenario above, I don't quite get whether the runner waited and then crossed in front before or after the ball passed. If the runner checks-up and then passes in front of the fielder just before the ball reached her, that would be interference, "in my judgment."
