I got into a disagreement with the ump last night over what I thought was a bad call. There were runners on second and third with two outs. A ground ball was hit to the shortstop and the runner on second intentionally slowed to block the ball from the shortstops view. The runner did not touch the ball or come close to shortstop but was still called out. I told the ump that as long as the runner stays within the baselines and does not physically touch a fielder that there is no interference. WhatÂ’s the call?

khaas,
If in the judgement of the umpire that made the call, the runners action hinders, or confused the defensive players attempt at fielding the ball, then this was the correct call. There does not have to be contact for intereference. Interference can be physical, visiual or verbal. You did state she [R] did intentionally slow her pace. Sounds like an act to confuse, or hinder to me. JMO. glen
