re: It’s interference. With visual evidence and the rule

quote:

---

NCAA Rule 7, Section 11 (p) : In running the last half of the distance from home plate to first base while the ball is being fielded to first base, the batter-runner runs outside the 3-foot restraining line or inside the foul line and, in so doing, interferes with the fielder taking the throw at first base, except that the batter may go outside these lines to avoid a fielder attempting to field a batted ball

Running out of the line does not make it interference

What part of the rule are you not interpreting? The part that they must be running inside the 3' runner path when a ball is being fielded? Or the fact that the only exception is to avoid contact that you can leave the path?
