Its 8u, so I'm not going to lose anymore sleep over it, but had an interesting play in an 8u tournament this weekend. Other team was being hyper aggressive on base paths, standing a couple feet off the bag and racing to next base as soon as the ball was released by the infielder to go back to the pitcher.
Runner a couple steps off third, a runner had just scored and was in the process of retrieving the bat a couple feet in front of home plate. Ball is thrown back to pitcher, runner takes off from home, pitcher throws home that lands at the catchers feet and runner scores.
HC goes out and requests the interference call on the player retrieving the bat. Runner who had just scored was bent over a couple feet in front of home plate to a foot or two to the first base side.
Umpire wouldn't call interference. What should of the call been?
