| R1 at first, R2 at second, no outs. Both runners take off on the pitch. Righty batter bunts the ball up the first base line. Ball is fielded by F3, and she looks at the other runners who are very close to their next bases. Instead of tagging the BR as she approaches, F3 turns to toss the ball to F4 covering the bag. BR is completely in fair territory running with her head down and unintentionally bumps into F3 as F3 starts to release the throw, causing the throw to go well over F4's head.
What do you call?

| If the contact was made in fair territory, it's automatically interference. BR is out and runners return.

| Perry and Greg I agree with your call, Does the call change if the runners reached the next base before the interference is called and happens?

| initial play on the BR at 1B, INT, immediate dead ball, BR out, runners return to 1B & 2B (TOP). whether contact was in fair or foul territory makes no difference the BR interfered with the throw, that's all that matters.

| If your (TOP) is time of pitch, that is not correct. Runners return to last base touched at the time of the interference, not the time of pitch. If runners had already reached the next base prior to the interference, they would remain at those bases.

| Nothing in the interference rule specifies time of pitch. Runners return to the last base touched at the time of the interference. Yes, that could be the bases occupied at the time of pitch, but it also may not be. If the runners had reached the next base prior to the act of interference, they remain at those bases.

| RKB is correct. Interference is a dead ball. If the baserunners have reached the next base at the time of interference then they stay at that base.

The batter runner is out when the batter runner interferees with a fielder attempting to field a batted ball, and 2, with a fielder attempting to throw the ball.
Effect Section 2D-H
1, The ball is dead
2. Runners must return to the last base touched at the time of the interference.

| RKB, you're correct, appreciate the correction. I mixed it up with a baseball rule - had been reading a lot of those lately! Haven't been on here in 3 weeks either or would have reached out earlier
