Running lane violation or game over?

A throw that sails over the fielder, out of her reach, would not be considered as a "quality throw".

I have to assume double first base, & I have to assume drop third strike F-2 is making the throw from foul territory. Assuming all of that the BR is helping the defense. Game Over.

As my old sergeant said if wish to live long enough to see tomorrow you will assume nothing. That goes double for umpiring.

But if you wish to use assume logic then bend over and spread them because you are about to get your assumed.

I take it that with all your assumptions you are assuming that this was not interference.

Then why "Game Over"?

The other assumption is the runner scoring from 3rd. I assume.

Because the game winning run scored.

I guess that the first post does imply that...which I had conveniently forgot about by the time I'd read through another twenty posts.

Making sure I'm clear...
The runner was "just running"... no waving or shouting etc &
The throw never touched the runner???

Either way, the BR would have hindered the receiving fielder.

The play involves a running lane violation, not interefering with a thrown ball.
