That's what I was looking for......defense has no case even if going after ball. Their argument was they were playing on the ball so they had the right and it was interference. While I wasn't sure about it I ruled on what I saw....didn't remember anything in rules about a right to go after a thrown ball, just a batted ball. Thanks guys...

Try this simple checklist.
1) Was a runner hindered or impeded in any way by a defensive player? If yes, then 2) Did the defensive player have possession of the ball? If no, then 3) Was the defensive player in the act of fielding a batted ball? In no, then 4) (NCAA ONLY) Did the ball arrive before the runner (about to receive)? If no, then 5) Did the runner do something specific and obvious that interferes with the fielder? If no, then THIS IS OBSTRUCTION!!!
