If the baseman, not having possession of the ball, interfers in such a way that the runner is caught and tagged on a throw from the pitcher, is he out?" E. E. Scholer.

We asked Al Barlick, National League umpire, for his ruling on this and the following question. It was his opinion that if the pitcher's throw, the blocking and tagging were one continuous motion, then the runner would be out. If the first baseman blocked the runner in such a way as to be obvious, the man would not be out. "Bases loaded, none out. Runner on third started with pitcher's throw.

The batter hit a slow bounder down the first base line but touched the ball with his foot and was out for interference. Before this happened, runner crossed home plate. Did run count?" R. F. Martin, Hayti.

Mo. Umpire Barlick said no. As soon as the batter was out for interference the ball was dead and all runners had to return to tbeir bases." Gehringer on Air.
