What part? Willamette Valley

Hello also from Oregon

A member of my association has one that he uses at times. I'll have to ask him where he go it.

"R1 at 3rd returns to the base. The batter swings and fouls the ball off" Here it is implied that the Runner is standing on the base before the swing.

I'm going to play devil's advocate. In order for there to be a play you need a ball and a runner. With the runner going back to third, you don't have a runner at the plate, therefore no play, right? No Play, no interference. Now if the runner broke for the plate and the OP happened then you would have INT because then you have a ball and a runner, therefore you have a play. In your What if scenario, you have a runner who advances and ball, therefore based on the action, you could have INT. Please correct me if I'm wrong here.

Thanks, I've been umpiring for 5 years.
