Runner Leaves Early on a Steal

[ArmWhip]

I'm looking for clarification, I thought it was a straight dead ball. During the Clemson vs Ok St game a runner on first left early then interfered with the 2nd baseman making a throw to 1st on a DP attempt. They ruled the batter/runner out because of interference at 2nd and said it was a delayed dead ball on the runner leaving early, the defense had a choice of which play to take and obviously took the DP.

NCAA only it's a delayed dead ball.

USA, NFHS, etc. it's immediate dead ball.

Ok, thanks.

I thought that interference call was bogus though

As has been said already, only delayed in NCAA. This type of play is the reason it is delayed though. Gives the defense the chance to take whatever gives them the greatest advantage.
