NFHS question #13

#13 True or false
The runner being played on is out when the on-deck batter commits interference. The answer in 2010 was true. That year rule 8-6-15 stated, The on-deck batter commits interference. Penalty, the runner being played on is out.
This year rule there is no mention of an on deck batter committing interference. 8-6-16 states any coach or member of the offensive team, other than a runner, interferes with a defensive player's opportunity to make a play. Penalty, The ball is dead and the runner closest to home is declared out. From 2010 rule book until now, there is not listed any major editorial changes or rule changes. This years rule book 8-6-15 states, Offensive team equipment causes a blocked ball (and interference). We are not dealing with equipment here. Not sure what is the correct answer. Any help with rule references would be appreciated. Dave
