| Al - correct.On a 60ft. diamond, it is almost impossible fo an umpire to interfere with a batted ball in the infield.The only way interference would be ruled is if the umpire is struck by a ball BEFORE it passed an infielder (other than the pitcher). Since softball umpires work behind the infield- this scenario is unlikely.If an umpire is hit with a batted ball after it has passed an infielder or struck with any thrown ball,the ball remains alive and in play.
