The only place the outcome is "correct" is in your mind. And in the minds of others who don't know the rule, or are using the MSU rulebook. . 

Nope...no one's operating out of the MSU rulebook, and the "correct" outcome is known to anyone with any degree of common sense. As I said, the rules are the rules, and they don't always align with what reasonable judgment would conclude. That is in no way an endorsement of evading the rules to achieve the proper/desired result.   It's just a simple fact and observation that, for reasons known only to you, is causing you angst.  

The umps kicked the call.  Can I be more clear?  Not sure how many ways I can say it.  I'm not making any rules up. The runner should have been called out.   Should they do better and get it right? Of course. Am I gonna get my panties in a knot about it?  No... their error resulted in what would have happened if no INT occurred.  Yay for blind luck.

A so-called GRD can sometimes rob the offense of a run or a base.  The rule gives two bases TOP, which doesn't help R1 who is rounding third as the ball bounces over the fence.  The correct outcome would score the runner...the rules don't allow it.  It is what it is.

If you can't understand that I can't help you.
