Runner & Batter-runner both out on runner interference call?

[TMD]

Battle of the Borders?

Judging by the teams, yes I'm pretty sure that's where this was.

We had a similair play this weekend but our ss fielded the ball and threw the girl out at first and the umps would only give us the interference. They said the ball was dead on the interference call so it did not matter she threw the runner oit at first.

Your umpires were correct.

Ours was similar but a flare pop up and runner intentionally blocked the ss view. Umps called int on runner. Pop up was caught and also called batter out

This situation is covered under a different part of the interference rule...I can't give you a cite right now as I do not have the book handy. USA SB rules say that a runner that interferes with a fielder attempting to catch a fly ball (fair or foul) that can be caught easily can result in two outs, the runner and the batter-runner.

NCAA has the same rule, but I don't believe any other rule set does. I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.
