So I pride myself on knowing all the rules, but this situation stumped me.
NFHS rules, but if ASA, or NCAA is different please advise.
Situation:
Bottom of last inning, tied score, bases loaded.
Pitcher hits B1 on the arm. B1 stays near home plate recovering from the injury.
R3 comes down the line, and prior to touching home, spins B1 around and pushes her towards 1st. B1 walks down the line and touches 1st base. Umpire calls game.
Questions,
#1 Is this interference on R3 for pushing B1 towards 1st base and therefore R3 would be out
or
#2 Is B1 awarded 1st base and R3 scores regardless of pushing B1 towards 1st.
Discuss.
