Runner Interference ?????

[default]

Your league umpire needs to re-read his/her rule book, the fact that it was previously touched has absolutely no bearing. If the SS had an opportunty to record an out it is interference, doesn't have to be intentional.

Intentional - means the runner did not try to avoid the fielder as she was playing the ball, no malicious intent required. Now if the runner made an attempt to avoid the fielder I might just let it play out. Interference always takes presedence of obstruction according to the 2010 rule book.

There maybe you should re-read the rule book. I believe Bretman confirmed what I stated. Thanks Bretman.
