Question for the umps and rule guys/gals out there.
Batter bunts ball and it dies just in front of home plate. Batter is slow out of the box and bumps into catcher as she is coming out for the ball. Catcher gathers herself and makes play at first. However, this slows the process down and allows a runner to score from third.
I argued for interference and a dead ball that would have kept the runner at third. Was I right? I didn't argue too much because I wasn't 100% sure. Thanks!
