Irish, is it your point that, when BR interferes, and renders the ball fair, she is retroactively out (and is a retired runner) from the moment she hit the ball?

My position is the player is out as soon as she hits the ball that qualifies as an IF.

The ball was put into play and cannot be ignored

And just to be clear, if she then runs into a fielder who is trying to catch that ball?

Then the runner closest to home should be ruled out.

Fair enough. Any insight on why running into the fielder is different from running into the ball?
