NO, NO, NO, NO...HE KICKED THE DAMN BALL. The intereference ceases at that point!!! Ask any umpire. The field umpire didn't see the kick or he wouldn't have called it. I swear that is the rule. Look it up.
The rule book states that even after a fielder boots a ball, if the ball is within reach, the fielder is still in the act of fielding. Exact wording is "within a step and a reach."

Watching the replay, Jacoby had already misplayed the ball and then the collision occured. This is not intereference. The baserunner did not impede the fielder's ability to make a play. I would bet my bottom dollar that is what Serrano was arguing about.
The runner took the wrong path to the base anyway.
He should have attempted to run behind the fielder (in order to avoid any possible interference) regardless of whether or not Jacoby fielded it cleanly. Even if Jacoby fielded it cleanly, there's a good chance the collision happens anyway because of the forward momentum generated during the act of fielding the ball.

Baseball invalids....Have you ever watched a homeplate collision when both guys are knocked senseless and the pitcher picks up the ball and tags the baserunner???? There you go.
So where did 'our break' on the call occur? Sending the runner from third back to second?

Sorry but that wasn't trying to avoid contact. If anything he was bracing for impact.

You obviously don't know NCAA rules. Here it is: Rule 2, Interference - A.R. 3 - If a fielder has a chance to field a batted ball, but misplays it and while attempting to recover it, the ball is in the fielder's immediate reach and the fielder is contacted by the base runner attempting to reach a base, interference shall be called.
A.R. 4 - If a fielder has a chance to field a batted ball, but misplays it and must chase after the ball, the fielder must avoid the runner. If contact occurs, obstruction shall be called.
Clearly, Jones was not chasing after the ball and the ball was in the fielder's immediate reach, so the call by the umpire was correct. Look up the rules.

Thank you.

Hate to say it but according to the rule book he's right. With Jones running and bending over there's no way he just picks that up. Doesn't say anything about a runner getting close to hitting the fielder being interference. Runner should have been safe due to obstruction.
A.R. 3—If a fielder has a chance to field a batted ball, but misplays it and while attempting to recover it, the ball is in the fielder’s immediate reach and the fielder is contacted by the base runner attempting to reach a base, interference shall be called.
A.R. 4—If a fielder has a chance to field a batted ball, but misplays it and must chase after the ball, the fielder must avoid the runner. If contact occurs, obstruction shall be called.

You quoted a section that deals with a fielder possessing the ball at a base or the plate or baseline, which was not the cases tonight.

Yep.
Our good fortune was not on the call, it was that the runner ran into Jones, who wasn't going to make the play.

It wasn't required to "chase". The ball was within reach. Interference still applies. See above.

Read A.R. 3
Interference is called on a baserunner. Obstruction is called on a fielder. The umpire determine the ball was still playable by Jones. Interference.

Jones was running and kicked the ball backwards. It was not within reach.

According to the umpire it was. His call.

I didn't say the umpire called obstruction. I said the umpire should have called obstruction. Jones misplayed it and by kicking the ball it was not within his reach therefore his protection ends and it's obstruction.

+1,000,000,000,000.
The reach rule is on a routine ground ball that drops right by you, you go to pick the ball up and the runner plows you. That is NOT what happened. When you kick the ball and it bounds AWAY from you...just like what happened tonight..it is NOT intereference. He was running at full speed one way and kicked the ball in the complete OPPOSITE direction. NO INTEREFERENCE. PERIOD! It's baseball after he kicked it.

Reasonable minds can differ on whether it was within reach. I say it was within reach and you say it wasn't. Clearly wasn't an easy call by the ump, but he made it based upon what he saw. In any event, the runner should have run behind Jones and not in the path. The runner is not penalized for running out of the base path when trying to avoid a fielder. If the runner had done what he was supposed to do, everyone would have been safe and Jones probably would have had his 2nd error of the game, but that did not happen. I say it was a good call by the ump based upon what he saw.
