In a tournament this weekend there were two outs, runner on third, with the other team's lead-off hitter at bat. A short pop fly was hit just foul about half-way down the third base line. The third baseman went to field it but the runner, who was moving down the line, got in the way. Interference was called on the runner, it was the third out, and the inning ended. The next inning the lead-off hitter was again at bat. I argued that, in essence, she had flown out and should not be at bat. HOwever, the umpire ruled that the runner was out and that the lead-off hitter could bat. Was this the correct call?
