(I would include knowing negligence as intent on a similar play where she merely stays in the box as the ball gets away and interferes with the catcher's throw back to pitcher at the plate... that or 7-6-S if it's still there)

It is in there, but would not apply in this case if the throw was to third, which i failed to include in my last post. I'm thinking of a play where the catcher is trying to retire the runner stealing 3rd not a throw to the pitcher covering home.
