Andy,
Thanks for that clarification on the dead ball/strike. Half right is better than none I'm supposin'!

The play at second was a slide in, close play where the ball came off the glove and went under the runner. And in my mind, she looked right at me and knew the ball was under her and wasn't gonna let the fielder get to it. To add to that, the fielder was practically trying to push her off the ball but the R made no attempt (and she had her foot on the bag) to allow the fielder a chance.
The interference rule doesn't have to be intentional interference, but hinders play. I guess you're right, had to be there but without doubt her actions would have cost at least an extra run. She had plenty of foot on the bag to safely roll to one side or the other.
Thanks..
