From a game last weekend.  What, if anything, do you have on this play?

Nothing. The video is private.

Should work now.

Looks as if PU ruled INT for intentionally knocking the ball out. The ball is dead, the runner is out, other runners return.

The only thing I could see would be what Maven stated...he intentionally swatted at the ball.  

Check that...swatted at the glove.

To answer the OP, I've got nothing.  I couldn't tell if the ball came loose because the runner swatted at it or F2's glove hit the runner's helmet.

Our angle sucks.  It's not like he made it up.  He was very deliberate in his mechanics.

On those mechanics, @johnnyg08 (and @maven and anyone else), what exactly does he do? I'm watching it, repeatedly, trying to figure out the sequence... 

I've got...

1. First, he watches the entire sequence, and watches the ball go bounding away into Foul Territory.
2. He turns back, finds R3, and points at him, "You!"
3. He makes a mechanic I can't distinguish. Is it an out? Is it a point at the plate? Because he's turning towards the infield to either locate his partner(s) or to see what other activity is happening so as to call...
4. Time. Time. Then he turns back to locate R3.
5. He points at R3, "You!"
6. He makes an Out mechanic, ruling #30 (R3) Out.
7. He points at #22 (R2), "You!"
8. He directs him back to 3B.

What is that mechanic in #3? I admire how deliberate he is. It must be that he observed R3, in his dive, make an intentional contact with F2's glove so as to knock the ball out.

If my surmise is correct, he's pointing to where the act of interference occurred and announcing, "That's INT!"
