Retired Runner Hit with Throw

Update: as I look at the video, the ball strikes the runner after the BR arrived at first, therefore not an opportunity for an out. The latter is what we should judge the act, not that "she couldn't get out of the way."

Brian,
The Tennessee video is nothing more than F4 throwing a ball at R1. I saw no act of interference in that video.
