During a high school game (federation rules) - R1 on second base, batter hits a ground ball to shortstop. R1, ball, shortstop all converge, R1 leaps over ball in front of shortstop (in order to avoid behing hit by the batted ball) never breaking stride, absolutely no contact between the 3, but shortstop misses the ball, runners safe at first and third. To my surprise, coach of the defensive team can't believe I didn't call interference on R1. I say "how did she interfere?" to which he replied "she blocked her vision of the play".
People afterward told me they had seen this called before. Granted it was in another state, but am I missing something?
