interference--who would have called this the same way?

I participated heavily in that discussion. I was just wondering how far the USC/out rule extended, since we have only that one test question to go by and did not discuss a variety of alternative situations.

I do recall that we agreed that (1) there was no game penalty an umpire could exact if a runner's USC occurred after the winning run scored, and (2) a runner who had scored and then deliberately crashed the catcher could be ejected but not (as in Fed's force play slide rule) be called out.

I thought you were involved. For a while there, you got me thinking one of us has to be crazy.

Right in (1), but in (2), if there are other runners, you can call the runner closest to home out for the now-non-runner's interference.
