As per the rule, the ball remains alive and in play, and therefore, B1 is out at second. Had the interference been intentional, the ball would be dead immediately and the umpires would place the baserunners in a way to nullify the act of the interference.cyclone14noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917712291092871273.post-18050788537986065052011-06-01T17:47:42.265-07:002011-06-01T17:47:42.265-07:00I am having trouble signing in so this is kickersr...I am having trouble signing in so this is kickersrule...R1 is out at 2nd the next batter comes to bat with no one on and one out.
