Maryland v GA Tech

GT Batter pops up towards GT dugout on 3B side.
MD F2 is headed straight towards the entrance of the dugout; looks like her momentum will carry her into the dugout, whether she made the play or not. GT players/coaches scatter in all directions to avoid getting hit by F2.
One GT player leaves the dugout.
MD F5 collides with the player, on the outside of the dugout rail as ball hits ground.
In watching the replays, seems like F5 had a reasonable chance of making the catch.

No call was made, (except Foul Ball), even after the crew got together.
I would think INT.

The GA Tech coach interfered with the GA Tech third baseman trying to catch the ball so GA Tech should get an out? Maybe you've mixed up the teams?

I did mix up the teams.
GT was on offense.
MD F5 collides with GT dugout member.

I didn't see the play, but this appears to be the specific rule they needed to apply:

9.5.2 Offensive team personnel shall not reach out of the dugout or enter the field
and interfere with a defensive player attempting to field a fly ball. The field
belongs to the fielder, and the dugout belongs to the offensive team.

EFFECT—The ball is dead, and the batter is out. Each base runner must
return to the base legally occupied at the time of the pitch.

I saw the play the other night, and it was my view that F2 was trying for the catch, but couldn't reach, and that F5 wasn't playing the ball; instead it looked like she ran to the side of it just to make contact with the GT player out of the dugout.

I know the crew; U3 had a great look, and he is very solid. Thinking he saw what I saw, not just that F5 COULD have made a play. Once F5 stops playing the ball to play for the interference, I have nothing.

OTOH, I think the PU did a great job of shutting up the vocal assistant coach (probably the one that TAUGHT playing the interference) and talking with the head coach, instead.

I thought for sure she would get run when she yelled out the "need to get glasses crack".
