You have....

A Runner on 2nd.

Pitch = ball.

Runner takes aggressive lead.

Catcher throws back to pitcher.

Pitcher misses throw back from catcher....ball rolls towards shortstop

Runner on 2 breaks for 3rd.

Runner is on course to cross shortstop's charging route to retrieve overthrown ball.

Shortstop, ball & runner merge together....shortstop stops to avoid trainwreck,

Runner reaches 3rd safely.

Interference?

Obstruction?

No call?

Other?

Thanks,

T

THANK YOU!

I take pride in doing my best to know the rules...and I have to thank you (comp, umpire, bret man) and many others for teaching me many rules that I was not aware of. I will never claim to be an expert, and will back down when I'm in a situation I am not confident about, but with all your help I feel I'm always smarter than yesterday. You're all the best, and I am very grateful for your dedication to this site.

Thanks for helping me help my DD's.

It is not INT.

It is OBS, BUT ONLY if the runner was impeded in some fashion. OP makes no note of the runner's actions, so we really don't know.

It is only a "no call" if the runner did not INT and the fielder did not OBS.
